Sun exposure and skin cancer
« on: June 11, 2013, 07:44:37 pm »
I recall discussions on the link between sun exposure and skin cancer as having been disproved, but I am not able to find the links to prove it.

Can anyone help me?

Just follow common sense.  If you bake for an hour under mid-day sun it is probably not good.

It's certainly not disproved, e.g. the latest studies I've seen find that sunscreen for example reduces skin cancer as well as its aging.

I thought there was some news about the original study being faulty in that the people in it were not representative of a wide enough population base in relation to latitude. I also thought that this news was related to another study that upset the first. May be my memory though. ;)
