Comments on: The Sun Tan Industry: Whiter than White? http://arch1design.com/blog/?p=5833 ISSUES OF CONSEQUENCE Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:32:43 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Alex Radway http://arch1design.com/blog/?p=5833&cpage=1#comment-3057 Alex Radway Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:47:17 +0000 http://arch1design.com/blog/?p=5833#comment-3057 The figures are scary. I had no idea the numbers were so high. I don't really have any knowledge in this area - unlike the self-professed experts from the warring industries - but common sense points to the evidence and warns me to be wary of everyone with anything to gain. I am also a sun-worshipper. This doesn't translate into beach-freak or salon customer, it simply means that personally I relish in the reviving effects of the sun - even if I'm just soaking them up on a 15 minute walk to the shops. I live in the UK, so sunny days are precious. I make the most of ithem when I can. I like to read on the beach and swim in the sea. I avoid the midday heat and, until reading this piece, thought I was well protected by my factor 15. Now, I'll do some home-work and look out for something truly protective. The sooner we all stop listening anyone with a vested interest in altering our behaviour, the safer we'll all be. Thanks for another revealing post. The figures are scary.

I would like to add there is ever increasing evidence that supplemented vitamin d has a very positive impact on a range of bodily subsystems; everything from mood to cancer is starting to be very strongly linked with vitamin d status. A basic search on sciencedaily.com will give overview of both positive and negative findings. In regards to skin cancer specifically I think the following article backs up the case that sunscreen should always be avoided: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070812084458.htm Informative as always.
