That’s right Mori, this is a fact concluded by one of the most credible organizations in the world and you are responsible for encouraging cancer causing radiation for health. Did you know UVR is listed on the government carcinogen list as a definate cancer causer, right along with tobacco?

It wasn’t that long ago that the tobacco industry’s doctors and scientists were saying cigarettes didn’t cause cancer. I remember people who really believed those so-called experts and kept right on smoking to keep their weight under control.

The Skin Cancer Foundation stated: “The latest figures confirm that skin cancer, the world’s most common cancer, is truly an epidemic. There are more new cases annually than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung, and colon. While skin cancer, particularly nonmelanoma skin cancer, is usually very treatable when caught early, it should not be taken lightly. Skin cancers have a high rate of recurrence, and anyone who has had one runs an increased risk of developing another skin cancer, including melanoma. Additionally, people who have had nonmelanoma skin cancer have twice the risk of developing other malignancies, such as lung, colon, and breast cancers. Melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer, may metastasize (spread) to distant tissues or organs, and can be life-threatening, if not detected and treated quickly.”

Every hour in the U.S. someone dies of melanoma and is a particularly cruel form of cancer. U.V.R. is also cumulative. Your skin never forgets. And most people have already had way too much sun exposure.

Dr. Michael F. Holick has been promoting vitamin D through sun and tanning bed exposure for years in the media, like Reader’s Digest, while actively promoting himself. He is selling books like “The UV Advantage” and is also being paid by the tanning industry. He posed in a tanning bed posted on USA Today. This guy is one of the top experts vitamin D enthusiasts are relying on.

This is not different than the dangers of cigarettes and the government should ban tanning solons from anyone under 20, at least. This is a no brainer: Get your vitamin D from diet and supplements!
