Found this paper in my trvels through the internet

One obvious problem that they seem to have missed is that they did not ask questions about sunbathing habits or sunscreen use.

Interesting that fried fish did not show this melanoma connection. Maybe there are social lifestyle differences between those that eat fish with salad and those eating it fried in batter with chips or waffles. Maybe the night crew favour the chippy so miss the sun?

We know that fish like tuna carry a risk from mercury and pcb's and arsenic but there was no assay work done to check contaminants that might be to blame and which are known carcinogens. We know mercury and arsenic linger in the hair from murder forensic work and CSI.
