| Location: Contrarian Island | the all terrain sunblock mentioned in the report isn't crazy expensive...$10 for a 3.5 oz tube...that is more $$ than say coppertone but for as much as musky guys are out in the sun imo it's better to spend a few extra bucks on stuff that could just be better for us....it's funny how frugal musky guys can be...we go blow $30 on a piece of soft plastic that could likely be junk after one fish  but 11 for sunscreen and we get all bent out of shape....so we spend 20 bucks on sunscreen a yr instead of 10....better to be safe than sorry in this case imo....sun damage from the sun is real...anyone not using it on their face is going to look realllly old at a young age ...

How else would someone get their blond highlights! I agree with Brad's comments. It's not a matter of IF you will get cancer if you are in the sun all the time and don't use sunscreen, but it's a matter of WHEN. Proven fact the UV from the sun is just plain bad for you. All for what...to save a few dollars each year on sunscreen or because it's not cool to put it on. Look at those that fake bake that end up getting cancer as a result. | ||

| As you can imagine, this article has gotten quite a bit of attention on golf forums, too.  There's a couple pharmacists posting the article is basically bunk on one forum. I wear a lot of sun screen, but my boobs are big year round. I'm blaming pizza. A Golfer | |||

For those living in northern climates in particular, we need to be sure to get some sun and supplement with Vitamin D during the times when we cannot. There is a ton of information out now on the importance of Vitamin D........many consider Vit D. the most impt supplement you can take. Over 200 million Americans are thought to be deffecient. Here is a couple articles on the subject: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7379094/Vitamin-D-trig... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/4788003/Lack-of-sunshi... youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--NqqB2nhBE&feature=player_embedded# RM | ||

| Posts: 203 | Cisco Kids response is : I agree with Brad's comments.  It's not a matter of IF you will get cancer if you are in the sun all the time and don't use sunscreen, but it's a matter of WHEN.  Proven fact the UV from the sun is just plain bad for you.  All for what...to save a few dollars each year on sunscreen or because it's not cool to put it on.  Look at those that fake bake that end up getting cancer as a result. Its actually a proven fact that the closer to the equator you are the less likely you'll be diagnosed with all types of cancer because of those life giving uv rays your talking about. Tanning beds are actually safer because its a controlled time bake unlike us fishing. On the other hand your right on the burning thing..you burn = you damage your skin. And damaged skin may lead to skin cancer-not will lead to skin cancer. So it would make sense to get a moderate amount of sun then put on sunscreen. "Smoking has decreased dramatically over the last 50 years yet the rate of lung cancer is still on the rise" interesting Edited by johnson 5/31/2010 10:27 PM | ||

All for what...to save a few dollars each year on sunscreen or because it's not cool to put it on. Look at those that fake bake that end up getting cancer as a result. UV rays from the sun are not "just plain bad for you"....UV rays from the sun are actually essential to well being and our health...THATS a proven fact! Its OVEREXPOSURE that is the key word here. I believe ANYTHING in excess, is not good for you. Except for one thing that is, but we can't talk about it in here  ...LOL ~ Health Benefits From the Sun Summer is just around the corner. It is time to get out in the sun and enjoy the short time that we have. Montrealers have so little sunshine, half the year we do not get enough sunshine in our northern climate, Yet, we still need sun to remain healthy and avoid various diseases. Shutting one's self up in the house all year long is not healthy nor wise. Why do we need the sun to remain healthy? Vitamin D The main source of vitamin D is generated from the sun. We can get Vitamin D from some foods, but not in the levels needed to maintain good health. We need the sun's ultraviolet rays to replenish our bodies with this remarkable vitamin. Vitamin D is responsible for maintaining and strengthening strong bones. Children who suffer from a Vitamin D deficiency are at risk for rickets, a disease that causes bowed legs and horrendous deformities due to the fact that bones are brittle and cannot support the weight of the body. The bones will then sag or bow. Adults are not exempt from bones problems either, when they are lacking sufficient amounts of vitamin D within the body. Older women especially, can be at risk for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a degenerate disease that affects bone density and causes the bones to become brittle; hence, placing older women at risk for hip injuries and more.

| Posts: 1906 Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Yep well aware of the sun being good for Vit. D.  You can also still wear sunscreen and get UV as it doesn’t block all the UV, and what it blocks is only for some time. Not worth arguing about. | ||

| Posts: 1906 Location: Oconto Falls, WI | That's because you already know everything Mike! How about adults should get between 5000-10,000 IU's of Vitamin D a day to be "healthy". That equates to 20-30 minutes of sun exposure to the skin. So those whom mentioned getting sun is good is correct. So sit in the sun during the midday for your half hour to get your Vit. D3, and then put on the sunscreen! I will take back what I mentioned on the tanning beds, but that is only if a “burn” doesn’t occur. Whenever a “burn” happens the positives are negated by the negatives. Reference: http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/ | ||
