Skin cancer has just become a problem the past 40 years. Before that we lived on this planet for thousands of years working outdoors in fields. We didnt have cars we walked or rode horses. WE WERE CONSTANTLY EXPOSED TO THE SUN FOR HOURS EVERYDAY. Sunscreen didnt exist then and we were exposed to the rays of the sun all day daily. So that being said and a fact why is skin cancer more of a problem now than it ever has been in the history of man? Diet and genetics. Everyone looks to blame anything they can besides the real issue at hand. My boyfriend is from Sicily they live off the land there. Work in the fields all day every day. There are no Mc D's, BK's or KFC's over in Sicily where his family is. None of his family have had skin cancer. If you take care of your body from the inside the outside will reflect it. I'm a big believer in our diets being the major cause of most health problems we have. North America has the highest skin cancer rate over any other country on the planet. We also have the worst diet of any other country on the planet. Your skin is an organ its no different than your heart, lungs, kidneys, liver. What you put into your body affects your skin just like it affects your other organs.
