it was suggested that the increased intake of polyunsaturated fat may have predisposed these patients to the development of melanoma
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
increased consumption of polyunsaturated fats higher intake of omega-6 fat was associated with increased risks of squamous cell basal cell and melanoma
omega-3 fat intake was associated with risk of basal cell carcinoma and not with squamous or melanoma
polyunsaturated fat intake modestly associated with increased skin cancer risk I believe the increase in Risk was around 18 percent but it was statistically significant
people who are eating more seed oils both in terms of adipose tissue levels and in terms of over overall epidemiology and observational data Gathering have increased levels of have increased rates of skin cancers specifically squamous cell basil and melanoma
omega-3 fat intake was associated with risk of basal cell carcinoma and not with squamous or melanoma
polyunsaturated fat intake modestly associated with increased skin cancer risk I believe the increase in Risk was around 18 percent but it was statistically significant
in people who had more linoleic acid in their fatty tissue which is a good indicator of linoleic acid consumption so this is not the same type of observational study where they are asking people what they eat they're actually sampling the linoleic acid in the fatty tissue they see a clear correlation with increased melanoma in people who have more linoleic acid in the fat
the results clearly show that increased consumption of polyunsaturated fats higher intake of omega-6 fat was associated with increased risks of squamous cell basal cell and melanoma
no other fats were associated with melanoma risk
