A new study has identified the consumption of two citrus fruits as placing white people at a higher risk of developing melanoma. The explanation of the new study, published on Monday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, is that citrus fruits have psoralens, compounds that cause skin to be more sensitive when exposed to light.
The psoralens are found in the pulp of oranges and in the fibrous materials that surround grapefruit's pulp, according to Abrar Quresh, senior author and chair of the Brown University's dermatology department.
