Eating chicken puts consumers at a higher risk of a rare form of blood cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as prostate cancer in men, according to researchers from Oxford University.

The research involved tracking 475,000 middle-aged Britons over a period of eight years between 2006 and 2014.

Their diets were analysed alongside the diseases and illnesses they suffered with.

Around 23,000 of them developed cancer.

'Poultry intake was positively associated with risk for malignant melanoma, prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma', according to the paper published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

My mother, God rest her soul, was born in the 1920’s, in the south. It would have never occurred to her and her sister to work out in the sun without wide-brimmed hats and long sleeves, especially since they were redheads. They knew nothing of skin cancer, but ivory skin and NO freckles, were the desired outcomes.

And then the 1930s hit and all of a sudden "THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE", world wide, decided that getting a tan was "cool".

Maybe not in the South in the good old USA; I'm talking about aristos in the UK & Europe, actors and actresses in most nations, and the upper classes here too, from colder climes.

Me? I always thought that laying on a sandy towel on a beach, or some other place, being hot & sweating...to "get a tan", was boring, stupid, and not for me.
