Your welcome. Good for you for not being bitter, hey medical myths make a lot of money, that is usually the way they are invented. Take care, peace.

not all sunblocks cause cancer. it's not the sunlight that is bad for you, but the uva/uvb damage. i slather it on all the time, even in the car. that's why i'm 37 and look 25.

You are absolutely right beloved. There are many natural brands that do not cause cancer but the natural and organic brands make up a small percentage of the market. UVA can cause some skin damage and aging and UVB causes skin burn. Of course, eating raw minimizes any potential sun damage. Kudos to you for looking so young!

it all depends on where you shop. shop at places for the fat ass masses, finding healthy stuff will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. shop at natural places or nice boutiques, way easier to find stuff.

I have never believed the sun is bad for us. I mean it was worshipped as a god.
It has to be a good thing

This was always my thinking too- even before I was into having a healthy lifestyle. So whats probably been contributing skin cancer besides sunblocks is the modern diet. Perhaps the skin of a SAD-eater is more prone to harm than people who eat more naturally.

sure, but you can't just think eating raw is the protector to everything.

Study finds 70% of American children are vitamin D deficient. Lack of sunlight exposure is primary cause, related to overuse of sunscreen.
