How do you know sunscreen does not cause cancer?  All you said was no it doesn't.  You are encouraging people to do something that may harm them.  With the incredible amount of chemicals we carelessly introduce into our bodies every day I would not be surprised at all if sunscreen is dangerous.  Would you spread it on your toast?  Where do you think it goes when you rub in on your skin?  It doesn't evaporate, it soaks in.  Read the list of ingredients, it doesn't sound like food!  If you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on your skin.....

skin cancer in women has gone up 50% since 1980.  During that period sunsceens have become popular.  You don't have to be smart to figure out the connection.  God didn't place the sun to hurt you and he didn't love everybody less before sunscreen were delveloped.

When I was at my "prime" sun loving age (early 1980's) and as a young child....sunblock was not ever a topic of conversation or used.  Actually, alot of teens used Baby Oil!  It makes sense that skin cancer in females since 1980 (I'll take your word for that) has increased 50%....skin cancer can take as long as 20+ years to develop (just as many types of cancers).  I believe that this fact along with the fact that when people started using it, they weren't using it properly, both contribute to the increased cases of skin cancer in the past 30 years.  What will be interesting to see is in the year 2030+...after proper education and stricter sunblock guidelines...what will the skin cancer numbers look like?
