Like many young Americans, I was led to believe through the media that a TAN gave you a HEALTHY GLOW. But with light hair and blue eyes, my fair skin burned and peeled. In college, I remember a close friend with darker skin wearing a t-shirt with pride, "He who dies with the BEST TAN wins!" I was certainly destined to FAIL at LOOKING tan, but ALMOST DIED 20 years later from Malignant Melanoma. But at the time, I found myself trying to GLOW by FAKE BAKING and was a regular at the Tanning Salon.
What a TRICK!
A new analysis of about 20 studies concludes the risk of skin cancer jumps by 75 percent when people start using tanning beds before age 30. Experts also found that all types of ultraviolet radiation caused worrying mutations in mice, proof the radiation is carcinogenic. Previously, only one type of ultraviolet
radiation was thought to be lethal. So , it's not too surprising that TANNING BEDS can be LETHAL!Here are some links to the NEWS:http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/news/20090728/who-tanning-beds-cause-cancer
