17. I couldn't find any definite
However, I found there is speculation that the ingredients in sunscreen mimic estrogen thus increasing breast cancers and that LACK of the old Sunshine vitamin D is a problem and that prostrate death was higher in northern countries-they also mentioned this on my news tonight.

But this~

But perhaps the biggest bombshell about vitamin D's effects is about to go off. In June, U.S. researchers will announce the first direct link between cancer prevention and the sunshine vitamin. Their results are nothing short of astounding.

A four-year clinical trial involving 1,200 women found those taking the vitamin had about a 60-per-cent reduction in cancer incidence, compared with those who didn't take it, a drop so large — twice the impact on cancer attributed to smoking — it almost looks like a typographical error.


Fascinating. Once again-moderation being burnt and tanning all day long-bad. No sun-bad too.
