Vitamin A And Melanoma Risk: The Latest News...
Dear Reader,
Promising findings on preventing melanoma have come from work appearing in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. A new study has found that taking vitamin A supplements might offer protection against disfiguring, dangerous and sometimes deadly melanoma. Despite this, researchers are not suggesting you start taking vitamin A supplements, as this nutrient can be toxic in high doses.
Vitamin A is found naturally in foods like carrots, eggs, milk, liver, spinach and sweet potatoes and plays a key role in our vision, bone health, reproduction, cell division and differentiation as well as helping to manage the immune system.
It's also known to help the skin and mucous membranes stay strong and keep out both bacteria and viruses. Surveys have found that most Americans get enough vitamin A in the diet, and deficiencies in this country are rare.
The researchers looking for a link between vitamin A and melanoma examined melanoma risk for 69,635 subjects who were 62 years old on average. After a period of six years, 566 had been diagnosed with melanoma.
For the 59,000 subjects who had never taken vitamin A supplements there were 506 melanomas, but for the 5,800 who were taking supplements and had used them regularly over the past decade, there were just 28 cases.
In fact, those who took vitamin A through supplements were almost 40% less likely to be diagnosed with melanoma as those who didn't take such supplements.
The strange thing is, only the supplements lowered the risk, not getting the nutrient from foods.
The reduced risk was more pronounced in women than men, and the protection was greatest in parts of the body that were exposed to the rays of the sun. Women may benefit more than men because they are more susceptible to skin damage from UV radiation than men are.
Researcher Maryam Asgari, MD, MPH, a dermatologist and research scientist at Kaiser Permanente in California, is emphatic that the reduction in melanoma was associated with the supplements not the nutrient obtained from the diet. Researchers know this because the effects were only seen in those who were taking more vitamin A than can be found in commercially available multivitamin formulas.

Vitamin A And Melanoma Risk: The Latest News... Continued...
And it was only the vitamin A, not carotenoids that brought the lower risk of
melanoma. A carotenoid is a precursor (converted by the body as needed) to vitamin
A - beta-carotene and lycopene are names you may know.
Other experts, not involved in the work, aren't surprised that vitamin A offers
some protection against melanoma. The thing is, experts are quick to warn that
the findings are preliminary and that too much vitamin A is a dangerous thing;
it can bring serious risks such as birth defects, lower bone mineral density
or liver toxicity, as well as troublesome symptoms like dry skin and hair loss.
The National Institutes of Health recommends a daily intake of 700 micrograms
of vitamin A for women and 900 micrograms for men. Taking over 2,800 micrograms
can lead to toxic symptoms.
Researchers speculate that supplements of this nutrient might have a place in
high risk patients such as those who are fair skinned, have a history of sunburn
or a lot of moles on their skin. For the rest of us, if you're concerned about
skin cancer, be smart about the sun and take a multivitamin that has vitamin
A as one of many nutrients. These people should also avoid the sun, use sun protection
consistently and have an annual skin exam by a dermatologist.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
