For the first time, a large study suggests that a vitamin might modestly lower the risk of the most common types of skin cancer in people with a history of these relatively harmless yet troublesome growths. In a study in Australia, people who took a specific type of vitamin B3 for a year had a 23 percent lower rate of new skin cancers compared to others who took dummy pills.The study did not involve melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. Instead, it aimed at more common forms - basal and squamous cell cancers. [Source: Portland Press Herald]
