Study: Cranberry juice may reduce skin cancer risk

A new study suggests that consuming cranberry juice may help reduce the risk of skin cancer, opening up new discussions about the role of diet in skin health.

Over the years, doctors have increasingly emphasized the importance of regular skin checkups, as skin cancer remains one of the most common types of cancer in the world. However, it is treatable if detected in the early stages and can be partially prevented through sun protection and a healthy lifestyle.

According to a study published in the Journal of Cancer Prevention, researchers from the University of Ottawa in Canada analyzed the effect of cranberry juice on malignant melanoma cells. The experiment focused on cancer stem cells, which have the ability to self-replicate and promote tumor growth.

The researchers used fresh wild blueberries and tested both fermented and unfermented versions of the juice. The results showed that fermented blueberry juice significantly reduced the number and size of cancer cells, while the unfermented juice had a more limited effect.

Although the results are promising, experts emphasize that further studies are needed to confirm the true impact of this juice in humans. However, the findings open new avenues for research into the link between diet and skin cancer prevention.

Finally, the researchers emphasize that the results are preliminary and do not replace medical advice or preventive measures such as the use of sunscreen and regular dermatological check-ups.
