have a look through this article and just say what you think. It came up on someone's facebook yesterday and turned into an 80 comment nightmare which I ducked out of very early, but christ alive what a trainwreck it was. This is one of the most infuriating pieces of internet I've come across in a while.

I am red as a lobster (arms and back mostly) from swimming for hours over two days at the beach of Port Aransas, TX this weekend. My face isn't as bad and coincidentally that's where I put on the most sunscreen. So I dunno, for me it's either:

1. applying loads of sunscreen, regardless of what crap is in it, repeatedly all day

2. wearing more than just trunks when I swim

3. avoiding any coastal outings in anywhere beyond 60 degrees latitude

 

As a fair-skinned person, it seems you're generally fucked and this article is officially irrelevant to me

eh there's some truth to the article...

 

his suggestion to eat a nutritionally dense diet is true, and does protect your skin from damage.

kept me from getting burnt many times while everyone around me fried crisp.

Very stupid article. Going by the links at the bottom, it's simply trying to sell some "natural" suncreen product - and it's going about it in a pretty disgusting way.

 

Skin cancer's a subject that hits fairly close to home - my mother suffered from it (and survived, albeit with a cool scar) and with my flawless ivory complexion I'm at risk too. This kind of junk is irresponsible in the extreme.

Yeah this is pretty much what I thought, I kind of presumed WATMM would spot the glaring errors in this more astutely than facebook hippies.

 

It's actually worse than lacking references, it has some references all of which are from some similarly terrible natural news website, and quite a few of which do not support the statements they are cited for, which leads me to think the writer of this is not just mislead himself but is purposefully trying to be misleading. And yes indeed this is bad in itself, and it is worse when you are misleading people in a way which is potentially very bad for their health.

 

Another thing that bothered me was that on a few separate occasions it implies a direct link between the use of chemical names or the unpronounceability of those names and their being carcinogenic. Which is absolutely ridiculous and I don't know how you could write an article and expect to have anyone take you seriously after that.
