Sunscreen causes cancer

Given the fact that just about everything you put on your skin gets absorbed into your bloodstream, it is interesting that there is a complete lack of regulation of cancer-causing ingredients in skin care products. There are over 150 toxic cancer-causing ingredients currently used in cosmetic products alone. According to federal law, products containing cancer-causing substances should carry a written warning. But the FDA does not enforce this law with cosmetics or personal care products. Consumers are left to purchase these products at their own risk, and as a result they are being harmed by them.

Let's consider a product that's harming tens of millions of people every day in America alone: sunscreen. Sunscreen products do not block ultraviolet radiation very well unless you apply multiple coats, but there has been a flurry of research lately on the harm caused by sunscreen chemicals. These chemicals actually promote skin cancer. This product is causing the very condition from which it claims to protect people.

You thought I was joking when I said that "sunscreen causes cancer", didn't you? I wasn't.

You don't need to be a genius to figure it out, just read the ingredients on the bottle. Given that Krishna designed and created the world - what is better to put on your skin: sunlight, or "methoxycinnamate"?

Of course, apart from cancer-causing ingredients, sunscreens also promote cancer by inhibiting the body's ability to produce vitamin D from sunlight. This leads to liver malfunction, and can be a causative factor of melanoma (His Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Swami didn't get melanoma on his foot from "exposure to too much sunlight").

Here's something else that is completely unregulated by federal health authorities - tattoo ink. Try finding out what the ingredients are - most times they aren't even listed.
