Sunshine vs. Sunscreen: You Be The Judge

With the days getting shorter, I'm trying to get out in the sun more to build up an extra-abundance of Vitamin D for the fast approaching winter months.

Lately there has been lots in the news about (preventing) cancer and Vitamin D. And today I read this article on suncreens ... don't use them (sunscreens), never did. But, the following seven questions that were written up in this article will help your sort out the issue of whether or not to use sunscreens. Just use your LOGIC.

SEVEN IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ABOUT SUNSCREENS:

The next time you see some public service advertisement urging you to smother yourself and your children with sunscreen chemicals, think hard before taking action.

Ask yourself these seven commonsense questions:

1) Is the sun really dangerous to humans? If so, how did humans survive for the last 350,000 years on planet Earth?

2) Have the chemicals used in sunscreen products ever been safety tested or approved by the FDA? (The answer is no.)

3) Who financially benefits when you keep buying and using sunscreen products?

4) What is the environmental impact of sunscreen chemicals washing off into the ocean, a lake, a swimming pool or being washed down the drain in your shower?

5) Sunscreen manufacturers say the skin doesn't absorb their chemicals. If that's true, then how do nicotine patches work? How do transdermal drugs get absorbed through the skin if sunscreen chemicals don't? (Answer: ALL these chemicals get absorbed through the skin. The skin is not selective about what it chooses to absorb.)

6) If the sun is so dangerous, then why is the vitamin generated by sunlight (vitamin D) so healthy for humans? Why would humans evolve a mechanism for generating a vitamin from sunlight if we weren't supposed to be exposed to sunlight in the first place?

7) If sunlight is so dangerous, then why is virtually every living creature on planet Earth dependent on sunlight for survival? Plants use sunlight to generate their nutrition, too, and most animals eat either plants or other animals that originally ate plants. Nearly all life on planet Earth is powered by sunlight.

Why does the cancer industry believe sunlight causes death when, in reality, sunlight delivers life? Once you answer these questions, the reality of the situation becomes obvious: Sunlight is good for you, and sunscreen is a hoax............(snip)........
