Tanning beds can increase cancer risk

Um.... DUH!!!!


UV rays 3 inches from your face=cancer.

 

hasn't this been known for some time? like, a decade or more? several decades for those who have common sense...

unfortunately people will do damn near anything if they think it makes them conform to some unrealistic social ideal...

pnw

 

ANOTHER USELESS STUDY?!!?

Stop wasting money on things we already know!

Light + Time = Skin Cancer
Concentrated Light + 2 inches from body = SKIN CANCER

I know this, use the money for Cancer Research... or Parkinsons... or AIDS...

SOMETHING BETTER THEN THIS!

 

Someone actually got PAID to do this. That must be an awesome job. Write your thesis the first day, then play video games until your grant expires.

 

Yeah really...

'Hey we need another study on cancer...
:gives report to laziest guy in office:
Be sure to include new results!'
Him: 'Yeah okay... :goes on internet finds all needed data for a report:...
[/thinks to himself -- that was easy, and I still have another 60 days to complete this report... SWEET.]
'

Boooooo!

They are... but releasing redundent studys isn't going to prove anything...
You want public awareness teach it in Schools or put it in the media...

~~Blah!~~

 

Study a waste of time? Well....

...Actually, there is one interesting find: Women in their 20s are MORE likely to be inflicted than women in their 50s. You'd think younger skin could take it better...faster heal times, etc. As we get older, our skin 'thins' so one would think it would be more likely to develop UV-caused deseases.

Who knew? Well, no we do, THANKS to our friends the scientists.

 

Re: Tanning beds can increase cancer risk

I concur... DUH!

 

Everything causes cancer nowadays...

"Scientists have discovered that Phil of Mac is unique in that he is the only person, place, circumstance, or thing that has not been linked with cancer. News that Phil of Mac does not cause cancer has resulted in nothing but benefits for Phil of Mac, who was previously the loneliest man on earth. When asked for a comment, Phil of Mac said, 'I feel like a rockstar. Women want me, because I won't give them cancer. Men want to be me, because I have the money and the power. Dogs still shove their snout in my crotch, but that's to be expected.' The last remark was a reference to the belief for many years that dogs and their tendency to shove their snouts into one's crotch did not cause cancer, however, further testing showed that it did."

 

I am still surprised to hear about the number of people that actually go to tanning beds. There tan may look good now, but in 20 years there skin will most likely be all wrinkly and they could possibly have cancer.

 

"I admire your leathery skin, Alice."

"I admire your ability to find your RIGHT in only two tries."



Meanwhile, fake tans look fake, no matter what, and they look awful on almost everybody.

 

cancer is totally worth it to not have tan lines year round

 

Yeah, no kidding. Not to mention large boobs and a nice ass.

 

The tan I can go without, but I'd be willing to lose 5 years off my life to have better breasts.

If I was female, I mean.

 

In other unrelated news...

45% of the people who regularly use Tanning Beds have been found to increase their bust size, lower their IQ, and take years off their life!

:yay:

 

I suppose this would be mildly more interesting if it were approached for a molecular biological point of view instead of a clinical point of view...

I guess then you couldn't talk about the Scandinavians and the women in their 20s, but you would also have to back up your data with biochemical explanations.

But even such a study would be overdone in this case. I think we know just a little bit about how shooting frikin' UV rays at yourself MIGHT JUST cause cancer.

This just in...

In a recent clinical study of men and women between the ages of 20 and 30, it was determined that decapitation can lower life expectancy by over 50 years.

 

tanning salons use UV lights.


sun creams block UV lights.


that's a reason i don't visit tanning salons even when i feel i look miserably white and pale.

 

You could always slather yourself in sun cream before you go. Then you get to enjoy being in the special tubes and wear the cool glasses without risking cancer!
