The Surgeon General says smoking can KILL you. Same thing goes with tanning beds!!

BigLeo -- just saying the obvious
You are incorrect.

She died from Melanoma. Specifically - a bad combination of melanoma and a medical misdiagnosis.

There is NO science that shows causation between indoor sun, outdoor sun, or even bad burns and Melanoma - or any other skin cancer.

There is LIMITED research that shows there MAY be a very slight incremental increase in the CORRELATION between UV exposure and skin cancer.

There is BETTER research showing there is a bigger incremental increase in the CORRELATION between UV exposure and positive results from a lot of OTHER more common cancers and diseases.


I have years of research and statistical methods training - what you have stated is NOT SUPPORTED by ANY RESEARCH! It is only repeating the same thing that poorly trained journalists write out of a lack of education.
