The cost. I have 3 kids who will be at the pool all summer. For me to adequately apply sunscreen for 3 kids for just one day means going through almost a whole bottle. Most of these cost between 7-10 dollars a bottle. I was looking at sunscreen yesterday and was overwhelmed by the choices and the amount in each bottle. Is there a way to adequately make sure my kids are covered with a reasonable cost? Thanks :) Here’s my beef about sunscreen. The cost. I have 3 kids who will be at the pool all summer.

Is there a way to adequately make sure my kids are covered with a reasonable cost?

Thanks :)

Not even close to what new recommendations are. Much new evidence suggests that it is nearly impossible to get a proper amt. of Vitamin D through our diets. “2 glasses of milk” you say?

There is plenty of evidence that being exposed to the sun without sunscreen does pose a risk. This Vitamin D theory is one being pushed by the Indoor Tanning Association (ITA) and is nonsense. True, there is some recent evidence that Vitamin D may help protect from some types of cancers (like colon cancer). But you can get all the Vitamin D you need through 5 minutes of sun exposure per day, supplements, or 2 glasses of milk. Telling people to go out in the sun to get their Vitamin D is like encouraging people to smoke because it will reduce stress. Both things work but both will lead to more problems than the benefits you get. Elizabeth,
