That's as disputed as anything causing cancer in mice because they were
subjected to abnormal amounts of any substance.

20 years ago they claimed eating more than 2 eggs a week would guarantee a
heart attack..... now they figured out there are two kinds of cholesterol.
Suddenly eating eggs is good for you. Now they say milk is bad for you. They
claimed drinking any type of alcohol was unhealthy... now they revised that
and claim that some alcohol is actually good for you.

Look Bob... a Tan is a normal healthy reaction to exposure to the sun. We
are born naked and learned to deal with our environment. What sent the
cancer rates soaring are the idiots who bake in grease for 3 hours a day in
the noon day sun to alter the colour of their skin.... victims of fashion.

It is now becoming once again fashionable to be alabaster white like it was
in the Victorian times. This too will fade away in time.....

I would suggest to you that since you live in a highly artificial
environment and are subject to media over-exposure of the current trends in
fashion, dieting, thinking and moods of the scientific community... your
time should be better spent on concerns to the damage that breathing all the
carcinogenic compounds saturated in your city atmosphere will cause....
rather than natural sunlight and fresh air.

Bob... that's just plain misleading.... cancer is something not as cut and
dried as you make it seem. Some types of skin are prone to burns, some types
[olive for instance] are prone to tan. You can no more make a blanket
condemnation that exposure will result in cancer than stating having a boat
makes one a sailor.

There are some people who will never get cancer no matter how long they stay
in the sun.... some will get cancer with mild exposure. Just like some
people smoke all their lives and never suffer lung cancer. Your statement is
based on speculation, fear and fashionable attitude... not facts.

drinking water will kill you????????????

No. UV is bad for the skin. A lot of people think
that those tanning booths are better because you
can get a controlled tan. They're wrong.

Simply absorbing UV does not harm the skin. If this were
the case evolution would have provided scales or something.

Too much UV can harm the skin and too much UV causes
a burn. Acceptable amounts of UV cause a tan which is
NOT harmful in any way. What you are seeing is a pigment
and not damage.

No, what he's saying is that ANY water in the lungs from
an outside source is bad for you. Too much will kill you.

People who get burn have stayed out of the sun too long.
Regular and reasonable exposure to the sun will keep
the pigment in place. The very first time one gets in the
sun one should do it for a short period so one does
not burn.

What you are saying in like saying water will kill you.
Sure water will kill you if you try to breath it or if you
drink four gallons of it a day. If you use it in a normal
manner water will not kill you. Nor will the sun damage
your skin. It is only overexposure to the sun that can
damage the skin via the burning process.

The skin reacts to the UV
and produces melanin to KEEP the skin from being injured. This doctor
us an idiot educated in a liberal university that is clearly teaching
lies.

If the skin could react fast enough to prevent damage, people wouldn't
get
burns, you putz!

RB

Some people are less susceptible to the damaging effects than
others. Everyone has some damage from exposure to the sun.
