Being and staying healthy, must be the result of a lifestyle of your own choice. Lifestyle Medicine, which has been a passion of mine for all my life, has finally come onto its own as a medical specialty. This site is about most of the aspects of a healthy lifestyle. We are focusing on eyesight, nutrition, exercise and mental well being. but have since expanded and have now essentially gone global via the internet. Misleading and False information might be what the public has been fed over the years regarding sunscreens and skin cancer, especially malignant melanomas. The general population is being confused by the pseudo scientific information presented to them by the companies marketing the various types of skin protection, from sunscreen creams to clothing, hats, motor vehicle window tints, etc. There are now more people using sunscreen on a regular basis than ever before and in spite of that, the percentage of superficial skin cancers as well as malignant melanomas has been increasing. So, can it be possible that the sunscreen that you are using might place you at risk of developing cancer, rather than preventing it ? What is more important than the type of sunscreen, is your type of skin. There is evidence that UV can increase the incidence of some superficial skin cancers. There is NO evidence that sunlight can or does increase the incidence of malignant melanoma. Furthermore there is also a difference between benign and malignant melanomas. It is NOT the natural course for benign melanomas to change into malignant melanomas. They are as different from each another as chalk and cheese. Vitamin D is essential for our bone strength as well as preventing various kinds of systemic cancer such as breast, colon and others. It is possible that sunblock can cause vitamin D deficiency in a person. Once again, a good example where we should probably not interfere with the natural functionality of our bodies. We were designed as pretty efficient functioning creatures.
