Sunscreen is bad for you

    This is a story about a mother who put to much sunscreen on her child. This child is now suffering of rickets because of this. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1348235/Tyler-Attrill-12-risk-rickets-mother-used-factor-50-suncream.html Rickets are now being seen in children again because of overprotective parents who put sun screen on them. 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.

    Ah yes, the daily mail, tome of biochemical knowledge and respected amongst the scientific community and laity alike.

    Thread fail.

    You start off by saying:

    Then you say:

    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.

    Luckily we can just supplement our diet with vitamin d supplements.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,723 ✭✭✭Cheap Thrills!


    No sun.
    No medicine.
    No booze.
    No smoke.
    No sugar/starch.

    No thanks! :P

    Link to Daily Fail is a bigger fail than this thread? Possibly...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭deathrider


    Sunscreen is bad for you? The song... It lied to me?? :eek:

    "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.

    You're not supposed to eat it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,481 ✭✭✭Fremen


    If you weren't convinced that the daily mail are a bunch of useless, borderline evil twats, here's a list of things they claim give you cancer.

    Of course, when they find something that actually prevents cancer, they claim it's dangerous.

    Too much Vitamin D is toxic.

    Anyone in the developed world who is lacking vitamin D is probably not eating a healthy diet. The article points out that rickets was common before the 1940's and those kids played outside more than today's kids. It was diet that was the big change.

    TBH, I'm really surprised that the DM didn't say it caused cancer

    oops spoke too soon - DM says sunscreen causes cancer




    Aside
    if you are in a survival situation don't eat polar bear liver, as you could easily ingest a fatal dose of vitamin A

    bear liver contains too much Vit A, not Vit D.



    and if this child drank a few glasses of milk everyday she would have no vitamin D deficiency
