Eating Fish May Increase Skin Cancer Risk!

The fish, which has been considered to be beneficial in every way physically and mentally with its nutritious ingredients, has come to the fore with a striking research today. Fish, which is recommended by health organizations to eat two servings each week, according to new research from Brown University. one of the deadliest types of cancer can cause.

According to a new study published by scientists in the journal Cancer Causes & Control, consuming two servings of fish each week as recommended, increases the risk of skin cancer. The scope of the research proves how convincing the result is.

About 500,000 adults participated in the study:

Brown University, with an average age of 62 as part of the research, 491 thousand 367 adults did a review on it. By completing a questionnaire, adults shared how often and what serving size they ate fried fish, non-fried fish, and tuna in the previous year.

After the answers were given, the scientists used data from the cancer case registries. developed in the last 15 years calculated the frequency of new cases of melanoma. The comparison also took into account factors such as weight, smoking and alcohol use, diet, family history of cancer, and UV radiation levels in local areas.

The comparison was made during the research process of 5,034 people.malignant melanoma (malignant skin cancer)‘ revealed that 3,284 people also developed stage 0 melanoma. These people consisted of people with higher fish consumption. In addition, the risk of malignant melanoma in people who consume an average of 14.2 grams of tuna per day compared to those who consume 0.3 grams of tuna per day. 20% higher turned out to be.

Those who consumed 17.8 grams of unfried fish and 0.3 grams of fried fish per day were compared in the first group. 18% higher risk of malignant melanoma and 25% higher stage 0 melanoma risk was detected. On the other hand, no association was found between consumption of fried fish and skin cancer.

The research divided scientists into two:

Eunyoung Cho, the head of the research, shared that their study revealed some results that require further examination. Cho states that the biggest reason for the results obtained is in fish. harmful impurities such as doxins, arsenic and mercury He said he suspected it.

On the other hand, Aston Medical School’s Dr. Duane Mellor shared that the impurities mentioned in Cho’s assumption are likely to affect more than skin cancer. Mellor shared that the study did not have a clear mechanism to prove that fish consumption could increase the risk of melanoma. Mellor also reminded that the nutritiveness of the fish has been proven many times to date, and that people are grateful for this study. fish should not be removed from eating shared.
