When it comes to cause and effect... has any one thought about doing tests on the sunscreens to see if they are imparting cancer causing agents on the skin? Perhaps the reason skin cancer is going up is because the use of sunscreens is going up...dah... it is worth looking into.

Also, what about all those tribesmen that wear very little and are in the sun much of the time? There is also apparently a link between people that burn and cancer risk vs. just exposure alone.

Randy..its good to hear someone is actually thinking beyond what the media tells us. Think about it, sunscreen is a billion dollar a year business. and you are absolutely right.. it is OVER EXPOSURE...aka BURNING, tanning EVERY DAY..that sets you up for the risks of cancer, premature aging, etc. Tanning in moderation can be very healthy for you. Sunlight is your body's natural source for Vitamin D. So you cannot tell me that all sunlight is bad for you. a tan is your bodys natural defense against overexposure. a burn is obviously the opposite. Think twice people. http://www.tanningtruth.com
