    Scientists now believe that the sun prevents cancer.

    Scientists Say Sunshine May Prevent Cancer

    May 21, 1:15 PM (ET)

    By MARILYNN MARCHIONE

    Scientists are excited about a vitamin again. But unlike fads that sizzled and fizzled, the evidence this time is strong and keeps growing. If it bears out, it will challenge one of medicine's most fundamental beliefs: that people need to coat themselves with sunscreen whenever they're in the sun. Doing that may actually contribute to far more cancer deaths than it prevents, some researchers think.

      It's amazing how people jump on everything the government or experts throw out. I don't pay attention to any of the dire warnings, including the "skin cancer from the sun" bullshit. It seems obvious that getting repeated sunburns would be bad. But, there's nothing that shows that moderate exposure to the sun is dangerous. In fact, there has always been evidence that moderate exposure is good.

      Dermatological "experts" and tanning oil companies have a lot at stake in sunblock endorsements and sales..

          no shit! Dairy is the latest fad - people actually believe that drinking shitloads of milk and eating pounds of cheese will help you lose weight!

          Red meat was supposed to be the killer. Now it's proven that moderate consumption is beneficial. You need some fats! Low-fat diets are a shotgun approach; you need to reduce certain kinds of fats, but definately not all.

          The idiocy the anti-meat activists were throwing around.. like if you eat red meat, it will build up in your colon over the years. People were selling colon flushing bullshit saying you would have a three-inch thick coating of gunk in your colon. Utter nonsense.

              the good/bad cycle is to boast sales, nothing more, nothing less.
              its called marketing.
              if these guys say it is good or bad, find out who signs his paycheck!
              wouldn't piss off the boss would he.

                          Put sunblock only on the left half of your body.

                            As for sunshine, experts recommend moderation until more evidence is in hand.

                            "The skin can handle it, just like the liver can handle alcohol," said Dr. James Leyden,

                            professor emeritus of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania, who has consulted for sunscreen makers.

                            "I like to have wine with dinner, but I don't think I should drink four bottles a day."
                            Everything in moderation. Who avoids sun altogether ? The amount of sunlight it recommends is very small. About 15 minutes, a few times per week.
