Tanning not associated to melanoma - tanTALK

Although hundreds of studies indicate a correlation between intense sunburn and the development of malignant melanoma, other studies seem to say the opposite. In an article published in the International Journal of Cancer, in 1989, Canadian scientists confirmed having seen a lower incidence of melanoma in outdoor workers, and a higher concentration of this type of cancer in regions with less sunshine.
They concluded that constant but moderate exposure is beneficial. A clinical study held with 2,000 patients indicated that there was no relation between melanoma and sun exposure. (Source: Austen, D.F. and Reynolds, P., Occupational and Malignant Melanoma of the Skin).

That's some pretty hefty claims Chipp.
If I were you, I would send a copy of this information to the Government so that they can change all the rules we (in Texas anyhow) have to live by. Write them and tell them they have been mistaken all along, Our services actually PREVENT CANCER!!

now you know I am not serious, if you didn't know, you NEED to know .....I am NOT
serious.

I don't know, maybe this info might land on the right desk here in the ol' US of A. Or they'll just write him off as one of them cracked Canadians, lol.

(No offense to Canadians, we have our share of loonies)
