The study was conducted by researchers at brown University, who looked at data from

two long-term observational studies and unearthed a link between Vitamin A intake
and incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. This type of cancer is the
second most common type of skin cancer among people with fair skins. Earlier
scientists have believed Vitamin A as an essential nutrient for the growth and
maturation of skin cells.

Vitamin A is found in a number of fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly orange

and red coloured fruits and vegetables. The scientists said that adding these foods
to your diet may be an effective way of reducing risk of squamous cell carcinoma,
which they said is hard to prevent. The study concluded by saying, "This study
suggests that increased intake of dietary vitamin A is associated with decreased
risk of incident SCC. Future studies are needed to determine whether vitamin A
supplementation has a role in chemoprevention of SCC."
