The chemical sunscreen message has penetrated as deep into our society as the titanium dioxide in a chemical sunscreen penetrates into our skin. Their message has gone unopposed and unchecked since the late 1970's. Only recently have the absurd claims from the chemical suncreen manufacturers come under scrutiny from the medical community. There is mounting evidence that any rise of incidence in melanoma is likely due to the use of the chemical sunscreen itself! The same old drabble about how bad the sun is for you and if any sunlight should land on your skin you'll age quickly and then die a horrible slow death from skin cancer is old, tired and outdated. There is definitely a story to be told. The sun is not your enemy. The chemical sunscreen manufacturers are. They are taking your money and giving you not only skin cancer in return, but all sort of other health conditions as a result of depriving you of vitamin D.
