WebMD (3/2, Mann) reports that, according to research published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, vitamin A supplements may be linked to a reduced risk of melanoma. Investigators “analyzed melanoma risk among 69,635 people.” The investigators “found that those participants who took vitamin A via supplements were about 40% less likely to develop melanoma than those who did not.”

        HealthDay (3/2, Reinberg) reports, however, that “no relationship was seen between melanoma risk and vitamin A in the diet.”
