Onions, garlic, eggs, olive oil and beans protect against melanoma
Study
The researchers also recruited 719 study participants without cancer, who resembled the study participants in the melanoma group in terms of age and gender.
The researchers then determined the diet of the two groups, and subsequently looked at differences between the groups.
Results
In addition, the healthy study participants consumed relatively more olive oil, eggs, onions and garlic, and beans than the participants in the melanoma group.
These are foods that are prominent in the traditional Mediterranean diet, the diet that most food scientists believe is much healthier than the diet that most residents of rich countries have adopted.
Conclusion
"In light of the rising melanoma incidence worldwide, these associations warrant further investigation and, if confirmed, they might have important public health implications for the reduction of melanoma incidence through dietary modification."
Scientists almost always argue for further investigation, but in this case, the remark makes more sense than usual. This type of epidemiological research has often found interesting associations in the past, which in larger follow-up studies proved to be modest or non-existent.
