Eating Fatty Fish Can Lower Risk Of Kidney Cancer

In Study, Researchers Tracked More Than 60,000 Women In Sweeden

by Dr. Mallika Marshall
BOSTON (CBS4) ― A new study finds that women who eat certain types of fish may dramatically reduce their risk of kidney cancer.

Researchers tracked more than 60,000 women in Sweden and found that those who ate a lot of fatty fish such as salmon mackerel and herring had a 70 percent lower risk of developing the most common form of the disease. But eating lean fish, such as tuna and cod, did not have the same effect.
