Special Health Report :-  Sunscreen Dangers

As the summer approaches we may be planning our holidays and days out in the garden or whatever and the need to either cover up or slap on the "good old" sun-cream or spray.

In the last few years, we have been inundated with reports relating to the dangers of exposure to the sun, and the need to protect our skin in order not to develop cancer, through the use of sunscreens.

The companies making these products have seen a dramatic increase in their sales. But as the use of sunscreen and other products containing sunscreen have skyrocketed, there is evidence that the incidence of skin cancer in the U.S. has tripled in recent years. Are you surprised?

Obviously concern about skin cancer is important.  However, a great number of sunscreen products can do more harm than good. Some contain toxic chemicals that penetrate the skin, and can actually increase the risk of Cancer.

Chemicals such as : PABA, Dioxybenzone, Oxybenzone, and  should be avoided. Another problem with coating the skin with sunscreen is that it can block the body's ability to produce Vitamin D which is a positive side sunlight exposure.

Vitamin D is required for strong bones, effective calcium absorption, proper cell growth, and maintaining a healthy heart. A strong association has been established between high levels of vitamin D in the blood and a decreased risk of developing many forms of cancer.

This doesn’t mean unlimited sun exposure is good – it’s still important to protect your skin from burning.

Free Radical Generators and Gender-Bending Estrogenic Chemicals

For many years, profit orientated irresponsible cosmetic companies and a small number of dermatologists have advocated that chemical sunscreens should be heavily applied before any exposure to sunlight, even on young children. They insisted that such sunscreen use would prevent skin cancer and protect health. This was despite of a lack of any adequate safety testing of these chemicals. (It should be noted, that most dermatologists are much more cautious and careful.

On the other hand, many scientists studying cancer have come to virtually the opposite conclusion.

The use of sunscreen chemicals may be increasing the incidence of cancer and that moderate sunlight exposure may actually decrease human cancer rates and improve your health.

So what's the truth?

Here are some common sense tips

Stay out of the sun when it is the most intense, it is estimated that (depending where you live) that this is the period between 10:00 am. & 2:00 pm

Use a hat or shade and clothing to protect yourself if you are outside for long periods or when sun is intense.

Help your body protect itself, eat more fresh vegetables and berries, this will increase your antioxidant levels which helps with skin protection, naturally.
