Housecall for Health: Add Some Vitamin A to Protect Your Skin

A new study has found that a certain vitamin can help you prevent skin cancer while you’re soaking up those rays this summer.

FOX’s Colleen Cappon has details in today’s “Housecall for Health”:

Here is something to add to your sun protection regimen this summer: vitamin A.  That’s right, a six-year study from Kaiser Permanente in California found that people taking vitamin A were 60% less likely to develop the deadly skin cancer Melanoma.

Sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, milk and eggs all contain vitamin A, but experts warn too much can be toxic.
