Re: New FDA Rules for tanning beds

This FDA thing is blantantly political move. These "rules" will not make tanning beds 1 bit safer. They know that the more they regulate something, the less of it that there will be. Liberalspushing the buttons of government to obtain their objectives.

Re: New FDA Rules for tanning beds

80% of indoor tanners are female, yet the statistics indicate that 6,000 males died of melanoma last year and 3,000 female. What the _? The largest age demographic was males between 50-70 years old.

How many 70 year old men did you tan this week? And the 3000 some odd deaths were for all races! How many of those 3000 were young white women? All premature deaths are regrettable, but in a population of 313,000,000 people where 2,500,000 die each year from a variety of causes from heart disease (600,000 to suicide 60,000), this is NOT the health catastrophe that the dermatology industry has made it.

Re: New FDA Rules for tanning beds

Looking at the comments on the FDA website, the industry is starting to respond which is good...however, it is still 2 or 3 to 1
for the regs. Most of them start out with, "as a board certified dermatologist,....."

Some of the comments by MD's are really astounding, calling for the total banning of "recreational indoor tanning".

Remember, these are the same "brilliant folks" who told us 20 years ago the sodium in our diets would kill us. Recent studies by the CDC say the opposite, we do not have enough sodium in our diets and sodium for normal food seasoning has no negative effects...

The reality is these dopes don't know and don't care about the health aspects of UV light. It is about having the indoor tanning business all to themselves. All about the bejamins....
