(KTRN Exclusive) Time Magazine recently published an article about the rise of skin cancer in young people supposedly due to their overuse of tanning beds. The article reports “Mayo Clinic researchers reported skyrocketing rates of skin cancer among young adults, probably because of their persistent use of tanning beds.” Does anyone else find it interesting that the researches think it’s “probably” due to tanning beds? In other words, they really have no clue. Tanning beds may not be as bad as some people claim, unless you are tanning day after day after day. An article from Natural News in 2010 points out that while there is a risk associated from using tanning beds, it’s actually quite low.
This Time Magazine article fails to mention two important things. First is that tanning beds provide Vitamin D, much like sun exposure. While no one would suggest sitting in the sun (or a tanning bed) for three hours a day, some sun exposure is quite healthy. We all know by now that Vitamin D is a miracle vitamin and provides multiple health benefits. So one could assume that occasional tanning bed use may not be that bad for you. But like many things in life, moderation is key. However, the second issue the article fails to mention is the overuse of sunscreen. This is the real culprit as to why so many people are coming down with skin cancer. In 2010 a report from the Environmental Working Group shows that the dangerous chemicals in sunscreens “accelerate the growth of skin tumors or disrupt the intricate workings of your hormonal systems.” This is only one report of many that shows the harmful effects of sunscreen. It’s interesting to point out that the Time Magazine article not once made reference to the unhealthy effects of lathering dangerous chemicals all over your skin.
Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little
lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid
option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Cheers!
Greetings from California! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the knowledge you provide here and can’t
wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using
WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, superb blog!
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in
the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Fastidious respond in return of this matter with firm arguments
and describing everything about that.
WOW just what I was looking for. Came here by searching for cheap tickets to
An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I do think that you ought to write more on
this issue, it may not be a taboo subject but generally folks don’t talk about these topics. To the next! Kind regards!!
never ever use sunscreen such a deadly poison !!!!!! also depends on which tanning bed it is, dr. mercola has a book named dark deception, its a great book !! it reveals the billion dollar industry on sunscreen, but also he mentions tanning beds can be good for you but only the electronic ballasts not the magnetic ballasts because of the radiation, but the sun is the best! : )
