SunScreen, the Myth

Part 1
After reading a ton of information on the subject I would like to pass a little ‘usable’ information to my readers.

The idea that sunscreen prevents cancer is a myth. It's a myth promoted by a profit-seeking tag-team effort between the cancer industry and the sunscreen industry. The sunscreen industry makes money by selling lotion products that actually contain cancer-causing chemicals. It then donates a portion of that money to the cancer industry through non-profit groups like the American Cancer Society which, in turn, run heart-breaking public service ads urging people to use sunscreen to "prevent cancer."

The scientific evidence, however, shows quite clearly that chemicals in sunscreen actually promotes cancer by blocking the body's absorption of ultraviolet radiation, which produces vitamin D in the skin. Vitamin D, as recent studies have shown, prevents up to 77 of ALL cancers in women (breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, brain tumors, multiple myeloma... you name it). Meanwhile, the toxic chemical ingredients used in most sunscreen products are actually carcinogenic and have never been safety tested or safety approved by the FDA. They get absorbed right through the skin (a porous organ that absorbs most substances it comes into contact with) and enter the bloodstream.

Ok so what are we going to do with this information?

1. Stop wearing sunscreen: Yes and no. you need to protect your skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation so yes, stop using the non-organic sun protection. Switch to natural, organic and or Blocks. Remember blocks don’t penetrate your skin so you don’t absorb them.

2. Start wearing sun protection clothing: www.sunscreenwear.com
There are other companies offering SPF clothing, please make sure they are FDA approved protection like Sun Soul is.

It’s up to you what happens to your skin, not the medical community or the big companies. Every day you put on or in your body various forms of poisons, be conscious of how you are reduce your risk.
