At the bottom of the articale, in very small print - August 1997. A lot has changed since then. Also, when one reads it, most people don't pick up on the words may cause, over time, over exposure and suspected. Then it goes on to advise;
1. Limit your exposure to avoid sunburn.
2. Use goggles to protect your eyes.
3. Consider your medical history.
EVERYTHING a good salon already does.

Re: web md message on indoor tanning

Yes indeedy..... the FTC and the FDA have VOLUMES of misrepresented 'facts' all over the web.... some still from the 1980's .... being offered as valid information ~ ~ ~

Actually.... these 'articles' are in violation of the FTC LAWS governing medical claims about indoor tanning.... but this industry doesn't have the balls to make them remove them.


Looking at today's science ...(and indeed, science from yesteryear that was NOT allowed to be SHARED with the general public because it was AGAINST the 'party line' of SunScare = More Money for Us)..... well, it is amazing that the AAD is still grasping at straws!


Quote:
.......His claims are not disputed. But some specialists are coming to the view that, while excessive exposure and burning is unquestionably dangerous, people who diligently avoid sunlight could be increasing the risk of other cancers.

Doctors in Australia last month issued a statement sharply revising their sun exposure guidelines.


Professor Bruce Armstrong, of Sydney University, said: "It's a revolution. I have worked in public health and have been preaching sun avoidance for 25 years. But this statement says there are two sides to the story."

The Australian rethink was triggered by findings of widespread vitamin D deficiency in one of the world's sunniest countries. The Cancer Council of Australia said: "A balance is required in avoiding the risk of skin cancer and achieving enough ultraviolet radiation exposure to achieve adequate vitamin D levels."

Think about it.....

GONE are the days of ignorant people running salons and using salons...... THEY are the minority.....

Gone should be the info presented as FACT .... based on shoddy, slanted, super biased and contrived information ----- but nooooooo

Protect the party line and protect the profits......

* for anyone that would like to read up on the real FACTS about sunlight..... how it harms and how it protects the human body (and all living things) .... take a stroll to :

http://www.cholecalciferol-council.com/


Amazing site.... good information... and this Doctor is not interested in Indoor Tanning or anything other than increasing awareness of the need for facts about all of it.*
