Default Dietary Fat & Lower Risk of Skin Cancer

Previous studies have tried to associate a low fat diet with a decreased risk of skin cancers (of all types). The results have been mixed.

Now, in a pretty well designed longitudinal study, it appears that high intake of dietary fat is actually protective when it comes to skin cancer.

Interestingly, it is now thought that in prior studies which suggested that a low fat diet might be protective, the protection was probably a result of increased vegetable intake - with all the goodies vegetables bring.

Sounds like good fat intake plus lots of veggies (anyone here eat like that? LOL!) has a protective effect when it comes to skin cancers.
