Tanning Ups Your Cancer Risk to 75%

By , About.com GuideJune 6, 2012

Follow me on:

The start of summer is finally here and those looking for a quick tan might be thinking about looking at indoor tanning.  I find a lot of people know it's bad for your skin, but because they don't really know how bad it can be, they do it anyway.  I'm republishing this blog post to remind you that indoor tanning shouldn't even be an option.

------------------

We talked last week about tanning dangers, and soon after that post, the news broke of the coloration between tanning and skin cancer. If you were ignoring the facts before, there's no possible way to ignore them now. According to the study, tanning in a tanning bed before the age of 30 ups your cancer risk to 75%! (Over the age of 30? Don't think you're out of the water.) In fact, they rate tanning beds as dangerous as arsenic and mustard gas! Yikes!

So what does this mean for you? First, if you're tanning, stop. If you're thinking about tanning, don't. If you're a mom of a teen and he or she wants to tan, say no. Get my drift? Just say no. And don't forget to share this info with your friends, family and teens that work at the tanning salon.

I know for those die-hard tanners this is bad news, and you're probably really upset about the facts. You may even be tempted to ignore them because you love your tan so much, but do some research on skin cancer and you'll change your mind.

Become friends with self tanners, my friends. They really can give you the look you're going for.

I drop a leave a response when I especially enjoy
a article on a site or if I have something to
valuable to contribute to the discussion. Usually it’s a result of the passion displayed in the article I read. And on this post Tanning Ups Your Cancer Risk to 75%. I was actually excited enough to post a leave a responsea response :) I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you tend not to mind. Is it only me or does it look as if like a few of the remarks appear as if they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting at other places, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list the complete urls of your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.

Any recommendations or advice would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you
