OK.... Can someone point me to where the evidence is that: "indoor tanning has been found to be associated with about a 50% increase in melanoma rates in studies in Europe and Canada, while no increased risk was found in the U.S."

I have never seen any statistics anywhere that shows any correlation to tanning having any association with melanoma rates?
