Abstract

The article focuses on the role of antioxidants in preventing skin cancer and promoting overall health. Dermatologists highlight that vitamins A, C, E, carotenoids, and selenium can help neutralize free radicals, which damage DNA and contribute to cancer development. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., with dietary sources of these antioxidants found in various fruits, vegetables, and protein-rich foods. While supplements may offer some benefits, experts advise caution due to potential toxicity and absorption issues, recommending a balanced diet, such as the Mediterranean Diet, for optimal health and cancer prevention.
