The sun is our main source for vitamin D and if we block out the sun we don't get the vitamin D we need and in children it can lead to rickets. I say that we should not use sun screen, instead go out in the sun for limited amounts of time.

I couldn't give a flyin' fùck about children and sunscreen is not bad for me as an adult. Jerry and Kate McCann are bad for children.

Avoid sugar and starch. Drink only small amounts of alcohol. Don't smoke.

you should avoid life, it's addictive and no matter what it always leads to your death

Yeah, stop wearing the sunscreen, better off with skin cancer.

I don't think most people wear sunscreen all the time while outside in the sun, especially this time of the year.

Whiteonion " I say that we should not use sun screen, instead go out in the sun for limited amounts of time."
Not very practicable for people who work outside. I use sunscreen, I do not have rickets and it has been good for me.

We only require ten minutes exposure to sunlight a day to get sufficient amounts of vitamin D, so clearly to have a deficiency you'd have to be fairly phobic of being outdoors.

"Sunscreen use actually causes cancer, it doesn't prevent it, says exhaustive scientific research"

http://www.naturalnews.com/001264.html

It turns out we have been lied to all these years, sunscreen causes cancer.

To be quite honest, you're being incredibly irresponsible by posting this stupid shít from the daily mail. :mad:

I'm related to a dermatologist. ONE blistering sunburn in childhood raises your risk of cancer for the rest of your life - in fact it doubles. Don't believe everything you read in the papers. Some of it is dangerous nonsense.
