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

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

About 500,000 adults took part in the study:

Brown University, with an average age of 62 as part of the study, 491 thousand 367 adults did a review about it. By completing a questionnaire, adults shared how often and how large they ate fried fish, non-fried fish, and tuna in the past year.

After the answers were given, the scientists used data from the cancer registries. developed over the past 15 years calculated the frequency of new cases of melanoma. The comparison also took into account factors such as weight, smoking and alcohol consumption, 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 a higher fish consumption. In addition, the risk of malignant melanoma is higher 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 uncooked 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. In contrast, no association was found between consumption of fried fish and skin cancer.

The research split scientists in two:

Eunyoung Cho, the head of the study, shared that their research revealed some results that require further investigation. Cho states that the main 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 premise are probably more effective than skin cancer. Mellor shared that the study had no clear mechanism to prove that fish consumption could increase the risk of melanoma. Mellor also recalled that the nutritional value of the fish has been proven many times to date and people are grateful for this research. fish should not be removed from food shared.
