Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 The organics industry ousted chemical sunscreen companies several years ago showing their products are causing skin cancer due to the cancer causing chemicals used to make them. The Truth About Sunscreens & Personal Care Products http://www.organicconsumers.org/bodycare/sunscreen.cfm After that Dr.Mercola also visited this serious issue with a few articles of his own on how our diet is the root cause of skin cancer and how the sun can actually prevent cancer. Sunblock Can Actually Increase Your Cancer Risk http://www.mercola.com/2003/jul/2/sunblock_cancer.htm Sunlight Actually Prevents Cancer http://www.mercola.com/2002/apr/3/sun_prevents_cancer.htm Learn Why the Myth of the Sun Causing Skin Cancer Can Hurt Your Health http://www.mercola.com/2002/jun/19/sun.htm Here is an article below about a lawsuit addressing only the " description terms " used on sunscreen products. Unfortunately they are going after the wrong intent here. Yes, the misleading " terminology " used on the sunscreen product is important to address, but the truth of the links to skin cancers and these chemical sunscreen products is far more important. Now they are putting these chemical sunscreens in everything from " night time " moisturizers to every day baby lotions to which they ask new Mom's the lather the babies in just for a trip to the store and they ask women to lather in before going to bed. Meanwhile they continue to ignore the people from other countries who do not use any sunscreens or any chemicals who many times work 12 hours in the fields every day and how they are NOT getting skin cancer at all. How can this be possible if too much exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer? It all depends upon what is inside us. If we are chemically filled then our immune system is weakened and our bodies will actually produce a more harmful reaction from different exposures due to those internal chemicals. It is not a lot different then people who eat a lot of garlic and how they suffer far less from insect bites. Nor is it different for how our fruits and vegetables are far more sturdy when grown organically without chemicals then the thin weak skins they develop from harsh chemical components that break them down and weaken them. Do that comparison for yourself and see how the skin of an organic cucumber is far thicker and stronger then a chemically grown one. The key differences in these exposures is how they are addressing issues internally with natural choices verses externally with chemical ones. Here is the link to this lawsuit released by the AP.
