Even more reason to eat your vegetables.

Researchers have determined that having a diet rich in vitamin A actually protects you from developing one of the commonest forms of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma.

According to their latest analysis of two large, ongoing, long-running population health studies (the Nurses Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study), both including over 25 years of follow-up data, it was found that those who consumed the least amount of vitamin A in their diet (the lowest quintile) were 17% more likely to develop cutaneous SCC than those who consumed the highest amount (the top quintile).
