You really have to admire the length they will go to, to scare people out of the sun so they can sell them drugs later on.

Can't charge em to use the sun, so scare em out of the sun so we can sell em stuff.

Odds of getting melonoma ...1 in 59! So that would mean 1.4 out of a hundred,or 1400 cases out of of 100,000 k population. So I guess they are right ,there is a epidemic of melonoma.If she is talking the usa ,then that is a rate about 50 times as bad as australia.I think I will run out and get some of that spf 15 that she is talking about.That sounds like good stuff.

These "teachers" are nothing but F#cki%@ pharmaceuticle drone commies!!!!!!! Stay away from uv,it's natural,and natural stuff is bad for you!

Brainwashing young skulls full of mush.... just like making kids sing obama song - mmmm - mmm - mmm.

Of course they completely left out any mention of vitamin d. Pure one-sided propaganda. Vote out the entire school board in 2010.

Sunscreen

Sunscreens provide a chemical barrier that absorbs or reflects UV radiation and prevent the passage of UV to the skin. They include chemical ingredients such as titanium dioxide and zinc? (Arent those minerals?) and are available in the form of lotions, sprays, gels, wax sticks, and creams.
How to Choose:
Sunscreens are made in a wide range of SPFs, or sun protection factors. As a general rule, the higher the SPF number, the more protection against sunburn and other skin damage the sunscreen provides. To get the most protection out of sunscreen, choose one with an SPF of at least 15. If your skin is fair, types I to III, you may want a higher minimum SPF of 30 to 50.
When shopping for sunscreen, chose one that is labeled as broad-spectrum because it will help protect you from both UVA and UVB rays. Check the sunscreen label for broad-spectrum ingredients such as those listed in the table below.

Examples of Broad-Spectrum Ingredients
Gotta love when they do recommend nice cancer causing ingredients eh?

Ingredients Other Names Benzophenones Oxybenzone Cinnamates Octinoxate
Cinoxate Ecamsule Mexoryl SX Sulisobenzone Salicylates Titanium Dioxide Zinc Oxide Avobenzone Parsol 1789 Some sunscreens are labeled as being water-resistant. These products stay on skin longer even if they get wet from pool or ocean water, or sweat. But water-resistant does not mean water-proof. Water resistant sunscreen still needs to be reapplied, so check the label for reapplication times.

Sun Protection

It goes on to say that a tan is "only an spf of 2 to 4" and is far below their recommendation of spf 15. No where in this web page or any other that i can find is there anywhere that suggests how long these people are out in the sun. So its either all day or never I guess. ALSO, for some an spf 2 or 4 is plenty for an hour or 2 or 3 in the sun. They never talk about moderation or sensible, responsible tanning. always overexposure like your walking out into a nuclear reactor or something.
