Wow this a very long but informative article. I am curious if anybody has any information that tanning
a lot will decrease your ability to produce vitamin D. This is the first I've seen it mentioned. I'll post my favorite paragraph of the article and the link to the full article.
<<<icon's view is that although excess and burning sunshine can give rise to skin cancer, the charities that scare people against sunshine are doing the public a huge and dangerous dis-service.
In our opinion the increasing levels of skin cancer and melanoma are largely due to increasing levels of endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as pesticides in the body and particularly on the skin, together with low levels of protective, antioxidant nutrients such as vitamins C, E, and omega-3 oils. In fact very recent evidence indicates that high blood levels of vitamin D actually help to prevent burning by speeding up tanning of the skin!>>>
