I never want to hear about someone getting cancer. If you read the research (WHO) on melanoma, you see that you have a higher risk if you’re an indoor worker, not an outdoor worker plus if you sunburn. Also, the inability to tan has an increased risk – genetic risks. Outdoor workers acclimatize their skin every year in the Spring. Genetic risks are why a lot of melanomas show up in area where the sun doesn’t shine. We need the sun or we would die, therefore we are attracted to the sun. There are so many photoproducts being produced in the skin thanks to sensible exposure.
There is a problem with chemical sunscreens, normally not applied properly and we don’t get the protection that the bottle states. It’s been shown that when applying 1/3 to 1/2 the amount of an SPF 30 is about an SPF of 2 to 4.
According to Stats Canada, vitamin d levels continue to drop year after year, some blame sunscreen use. Everything in life has a risk, example bacon has a higher risk for cancer than UVB light
