Tanning On Sunbeds Leads To Deadly Skin Cancer
April 8, 2008
London (dbTechno) - According to Cancer Research UK, young people who go a tanning salon and hop on a sunbed are increasing their risk of developing the deadliest form of skin cancer by 75%.
Cancer Research UK carried out research to look at the dangers of tanning salons and sunbeds.
They found in their research that 82% of sunbed users go to the tanning salon before the age of 35-years old.
The problem with this is, younger people have more delicate and sensitive skin.
Going into a tanning salon and hopping on a sunbed has been found to greatly damage your skin.
Dr. Kat Arney of Cancer Research UK stated it can damage your DNA in your skin cells, and increase skin cancer risk.
They are pushing for legislation to ban coin-operated sunbeds, and also to try to prevent those under 18 from being able to easily to go a tanning salon.
Currently, there are only restrictions for those under the age of 16-years old.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why was I not warned about this 30 years ago when I started using tanning beds?? My Dr never said a thing and I was just in his office for a complete physical. The funny thing is, he commented how good my tan was and how healthy my skin is. According to this article i should be dead. Well, I did feel a little funny this morning, but later realized it was just gas.
