I think it’s irresponsible that someone posted this information as fact without any references. I left this comment:
“I’m curious where these SPF numbers came from – can you please provide a reference to where you found them? All I could find in the scientific literature are articles like this one http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3140123/ that give very low SPF values for natural oils.
It’s dangerous to suggest that you can protect yourself from the sun with simple oils like these.”
I wouldn’t hold my breath Randy. I commented on two different posts a couple of days ago and they have yet to respond. Seems to me that when their views are challenged they become silent because they have nothing to support them with.
That’s what REALLY bugs me about some of these other websites. It’s easy for anyone to state their opinion as fact on the internet. It’s not so easy to find reliable sources of information to prove (or disprove) what you believe so not very many people take the time to bother with it.
