Just saw this on CNN... Will look for and post a link... but they say that they have known for at least a decade that sunscreens containing Vitamin A cause or accelerate skin cancer... but they are also saying dont stop using your sunscreen.... they just make me sick
As for sunscreens now available on the market, EWG researchers recommend only 39 of 500 beach and sport sunscreens. The reason? A surge in exaggerated SPF claims above 50 and new disclosures about potentially hazardous ingredients, in particular recently developed government data linking the common sunscreen ingredient vitamin A to accelerated development of skin tumors and lesions.

And there you have it... like so many other things that are 'pushed' on us, and a few years later is revealed to be harmful.
I never trusted the stuff- do not use it.
Thank you for posting this.

I never did use it, and almost never put it on my kids. But we're part hispanic, so don't burn as much like the pitch white folk.

Always did wonder about the moms who would oil their kid from head to toe with that crap.

morning and afternoon sunshine is GOOD for your health and helps prevent cancer.

sunscreen is a chemical that you smear on your skin, the largest organ of your body, which then uptakes all the chemicals for your liver, kidneys, and lungs to neutralize.

this should be self evident.

It's not the vitamin A, it's the endochrin disruptors that get absorbed. Somebody else said it was the chemical in the sunscreen itself and this is true. Health experts have known this for a long time, but they don't have a platform to announce it.

the idea of using chemicals to combat the natural is sickening, and anyone who uses sunscreen deserve exactly what they get

do Africans or Middle Easterners worry about skin cancer? no only dopey brainwashed white people who bend over for whatever they Tee vee tells them they should do

so go, continue using your precious sunscreen, and tell me how the cancer feels

I know... I am from the deep south and as children we never used it either and no one had skin cancer. Good luck getting people to believe it though.. I told a couple of my friends earlier about what I read and they just looked at me like I was crazy.. imagine that.....

I rarely use sunscreen either though I am half Irish and English. I tan before burning usually but I just avoid the sun, I will hang out under an umbrella at the beach and wear a hat before I'll slather myself in chemicals.

My little ones rarely get sunscreen unless we are at the beach but what I do is put them in those short-sleeved suits and hats then they only need sunscreen on their arms, below the knees and their feet.

Some sun is good. I know someone who avoided the sun all his life cuz he's pasty white and burns, but he got skin cancer at age 50, on his toe of all places. If you can, try to get 10 minutes a day or so of morning sun on your skin.

If I found out for sure the world was ending in 2012 I would tan myself all the time. That would be so nice.

Before you buy any more suntan lotion with SPF, turn it over and read the label. if any of these ingredients are present pass it by. The reason is they are synthetic and are not processed by the body accordingly, so your body thinks it is something else and uses that chemical as if it were natural.

Benzophenones (dixoybenzone, oxybenzone)

PABA and PABA esters (ethyl dihydroxy propyl PAB, glyceryl PABA, p-aminobenzoic acid, padimate-O or octyl dimethyl PABA)

Cinnamates (cinoxate, ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate, octocrylene, octyl methoxycinnamate)

Salicylates (ethylhexyl salicylate, homosalate, octyl salicylate)

Digalloyl trioleate

Menthyl anthranilate

Avobenzone [butyl-methyoxydibenzoylmethane; Parsol 1789] - This is the only chemical sunscreen currently allowed by the European Community. However, its safety is still questionable since it easily penetrates the skin and is a strong free radical generator.

Benzophenones are the real bad ones because they mimmick estrogen. Go slather that on your son's body and see how much of a girly boy he becomes.

Yeah right, the vitamin A is the cancer agent. Maybe synthetic A but vitamin A couldn't possibly cause cancer.

What OTHER CHEMICALS ARE IN THE SUNSCREENS?
