P., basal cell carcinomas of the skin are often associated with an
increased risk of other sun-related malignancies, like squamous cell
carcinoma of the skin. So far, the data on the effect of changing
diet on the subsequent risk of cancer of {*filter*} or colon is sketchy
and in some instances contradictory. It makes sense to reduce in the
diet not only for cancer related hypotheses, but also for your
coronary system... H2
