Study: Tanning Beds As Deadly As Arsenic

[donteatthechalk]

I'm 17 and going away in 3 weeks on vacation and right now I'm as white as a ghost. If i use a tanning bed 5 times for 7 minutes each to get a base tan, will my chances of cancer increase by 70% still? I find the media does not account for moderation.

[zool201975]

its as deadly as arsenic? i highly doubt it. you need to ingest a big chunk of those beds before it gets as instantly deadly as arsenic witch a few drops will do the job nicely. secondly the large size makes ingesting rather difficult so its child safe cant really say that about arsenic..

[saverio1e]

WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!!!

[Limegreensox]

the big question here is why are people so self concious of their natural skin color? why cant people just appreciate themselves the way they were made, some people just werent meant to be tan.

[saverio1e]

@Limegreensox Because everybody looks better with some color!!! duhhh

[Limegreensox]

Don't try and tell me differently, my mom, grandama, and grandpa all had or have skin cancer. i know the dangers of tanning! and dont try and pull that people are naturally supposed to be out in the sunlight crap b/c although that is true, the life expectancy was alot shorter than...people didnt live long enough to get skin cancer!

[Limegreensox]

whoever is believeing this vitamin d stuff is an idiot. People naturally get enough Vitamin D. Tanning Beds are never used in moderation, if they were then you would only have to be in it for 2 or 3 minutes...not even long enough to get a tan. Tanning beds are 10 times harsher than the natural sun.

[saverio1e]

@Limegreensox ur a freaking idiot!!!!! the sun is 100 times worse!! 100% natural UVB RAYS BUDDY !! u have to burn to get skin cancer. In tanning beds the UVB RAYS r controlled. the sun is all natural & u don't get shit from eating or drinking food to get enough Vitamin 'D' the natural way of getting V 'D' is from UV exposure.

[hotdream38ch]

Who says that tanning beds are as deadly as arsenic is really an idiot. The UV rays of a tanning beds are exactly the same UV rays of the sun. Without sun all life on earth would simply die.

[jmart500]

this is why im one of the smarter people in the world today...they know for a fact that tanning beds cause skin cancer but for some reason there are still people who use them regularly just to change the color of their skin...youre white, stay white.

[ssuuppeerrttaann]

If you were a smoker, you will have a chance of getting lung cancer 22 times greater than a non-smoker.

If you were a tanner under 30 years old, the chance of getting skin cancer is only 75% greater than a non-tanner (Less than 1 time !!!!).

SO QUIT SMOKING AND GET A TAN !!!

[GeminiAzules]

Try going to the beach...

[RachelBartlett]

Funny how this propaganda comes up at the same time as the BS about organic food being no better than GMO crap.

May I point out that we have had almost non-stop overcast lousy weather for the last 10 months or so? So of course the last thing people need now is some warmth, vitamin D, or a tan...

[loyalaussie]

what a load of crap 20 studies by who? cancer council who in bed with sunblock companies who make 100s of millions from propaganda Why doesnt america look at studies of cell changes due to chemical reaction of uv blocker in sunscreen and how its covered up, its worth billions and cancer council gets their cut.come on people wake up

reality check moderation in all things vitamin d from uv is vital in prevention of most cancers and other diseases to say dont be exposed in anyway is ludicrous

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

According to these studies, tanning bed salons should have shotguns there for you to shoot yourself in the head with so you can end up safer than you'd be after getting into the tanning bed.

[Vivaldi290]

All whites want to look like niggers because American culture glorifies them. Now instead of looking like niggers they get to have cancer lol.

[xxxFaustusxxx]

Sarcasm? I hope you really aren't that stupid.

[swankrecords]

There is no proven link between lung cancer and the responsible use of tobacco.

I guess all the smokers are irresponsible.

[snakepit000]

I heard eating can cause cancer to, better stop eating.

[bl0000000000]

I heard breathing does too!

[MrHebrewGod]

Wow,you Devils own the planet,yet the one thing you crave the most,you have to cook yourself to obtain.I think the MOST HIGH for blessing our people with beautiful brown skin.

[bl0000000000]

wow shut your phony baloney trap about right and wrong. You do bad stuff too so stop bein' a hypocrite and if you say you don't then you're in denial and whatever god you believe in is gonna make you pay.

[Seer1126]

Gee is that all you have you racist motherfucker, whats your brothers white wife going to think about you?

[Seer1126]

the US needs a UK from of healthcare

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

FUCK YOU.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Up next for Obama:

Tanning Czar

[696styx]

Maybe they'll come back as negroes in the next life.

No more tanning salon unless you look like Obama

[Seer1126]

Damn I forgot people with enough money to burn themselves under a light are more important than Healthcare and all the US citizens that cant afford it, stop the presses some rich people got sunburn. Better yet California unofficial unemployed is at 16%.

[lphillips84]

You don't have to be rich to tan. It's pretty cheap to go to a tanning bed. Quit being jealous of privileged people, most of them have worked hard for what they have. No one said they are more important, they are just warning people that use tanning beds. Get over yourself.

[TheTabbs]

being tan is a sign of the poor, poor people have to be in the sun...well as of a few hundred years ago....as of now.... tanning is just a sign of stupidity..... we know the sun damages skin, how stupid can you be to put yourself to the risk by like a hundred times?

[lunaris19]

Interesting, where did you find out about the relation of tannin and social status?

[the2012report]

But it's so sexy, and what's more important, health or fucking?

[lphillips84]

Millions of people do it for looks. People have surgery to make themselves feel better about their looks. I don't see anyone bitching and complaining about that. Everyone does atleast one thing that is risky to their health. Not eating right whether they are too skinny or too fat, smoking, talking on the phone while driving, drinking alcohol, etc. If you're going to bitch about this, go ahead and bitch about everything else too while you're at it. I personally don't tan, to each their own.

[ColdRainyNights]

I know girls who use these things every day.

[worldismyashtray]

Hm. Between cigarettes and artificial tanning, I wonder what the skin cancer rate is like in Hollywood.

[residentevil808]

maybe go to the sun you will be fried or orange tan for the white bitches

[sorrysonuvabitch]

HAH dumb bitches are as dirty as chimneysweeps, many are much dirtier.

[lmm85]

The sad thing is that they're even dirtier on the inside.

[callingumout]

Yea, spread on some more chemicals! thats the solution. LOL

[hozehd]

fuck tans get tattoos

[HabitsofLife]

LOL

[doranda777]

Go the old fashion way,try tanning lotion/cream or that spray on tan.

[likes2p]

[John12787]

[whiteknuckles01]
