My Malignant Melanoma

Much as I hate quack diet pushers, the latest from the EPIC study is not an invitation to go out an live on kebabs (hold the salad) as some papers have unhelpfully reported.

There is apparently a small protective effect from vegetables on certain cancer types (melanoma is incidentally not one of the types).

Vegetables and fruit aren't going to cure any cancer, and the harder you look for the effect, the smaller it gets*, but it's still worth having.

But then, so is the odd kebab. Let's not go nuts. Or vegan. As if there was a difference.

* so there is no point in sending me links to cherry-picked papers from the last century, as they have been superseded by these later, more powerful studies.

Neither is there any point sending me links to articles in "Medical Hypotheses", which is a non-peer reviewed promoter of quackery. Sorry quacktards!
