engfant,

At 16, this poor girl lacks the ability to rigorously analyze information. She if venting, grieving and using a scapegoat that is simplistic and shallow. But you can hardly blame her. The dermotologists, their cosmedic industry financiers, and the willing media are the real ones to blame.

She has been led to believe that non-erythemal UV exposure is what causes melanoma. The studies done by the dermotologists themelves DO NOT support that claim. She has been led to believe that UVA has a significant relationship to cancer of any kind. The dermotologists studies do not make that conclusion.

She probably has no idea that most melanoma occurs on UNEXPOSED areas of the body, therefore having NO connection to UV at all. And that MOST fatalaties from skin cancer are caused from this type.

She probably has no idea that for 80% to 90% of indoor tanners, their tan actually REDUCES their risk of skin damage when exposed to the outdoor sunlight.

She probably doesn't realize that the sunburns that "pale and proud" people get from the sun increase their risk factors for serious effects more than the regular, non-fragmented, and moderate exposure that indoor tanners get from tanning beds.

And she probably doesn't realize that her statment that Quote:medical evidence has found that the use of tanning beds are actually more dangerous than baking in the actual sun. is COMPLETELY BASELESS and false. In fact, the actual "evidence" from the dermotologists' clinical studies shows the complete opposite.

She also probably doesn't realize the the dermotology community is probably the most unethical medical group in the world due to their CONFLICT OF INTEREST as a result of their massive financial payoffs from the cosmetic industry.

But most other people don't realize any of this either.
