Another lesson in what trusting the science and the media gets you:
The LARGEST sunscreen-skin cancer study EVER conducted found sunscreen users faced FAR higher risks of EVERY major skin cancer.
- INVASIVE MELANOMA: +292%
- MELANOMA IN SITU: +258%
- BASAL CELL CARCINOMA: +140%
- SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA: +126%
Large increases in all major skin cancers can NOT be explained away by the “sunscreen paradox” given that lab tests found BENZENE, a known human CARCINOGEN, in 27% of sunscreen products tested.
Slathering rapidly absorbed carcinogens all over your body will unsurprisingly raise skin cancer risk.
At this point, your best bet is to ignore absolutely everything the media reports that The Science is recommending. Some of us can still remember when microwaving carbohydrates in margarine, then going outside covered in sunscreen was optimizing your health.
