Most skin cancer is caused by ultraviolet (UV) light damaging the DNA in skin cells, but now a new study has claimed that eating fish could increase a person's risk of melanoma.
The US study, from Brown University, found that people whose typical intake of fish was 300g per week had a 22% higher risk of developing a malignant melanoma than those who typical fish intake was less.
A melanoma is a potentially serious type of cancer which there is an uncontrolled growth of pigment cells.
