I read that sunscreen can cause cancer....

I'm not taking any chances, Gonna die of natural causes, just like the good old days.

If the whiskey don't kill me, I'll live 'till I die.

Given sufficient data, I can make a case for anything....;-)

You do you, I'll do me,
White skinned humans have lived on earth for many years without the need for sun screen.

But NOW we need it?

Don't forget, 30 minutes in the sun, with exposed face and forearms, produces more than your daily requirement of vitamin D!

Also with melanoma...

This is a timely thread.
This afternoon I will get another Squamous Cell Carcinoma cut out of my back. I have had many of them removed and a few Basal Cell Carcinoma.

And just for fun I had dozens and dozens of Seborrheic Keratosis (pre-cancerous lumps) frozen.

And just to keep me looking pretty I've had 3 Mohs surgeries.

So, yeah, use sunscreen and lots of it. Especially if you are a redhead with freckles.

One of our kids was on medications in her youth that made her very susceptible to sunburn. 20 minutes out in the sun and her ears would be bright red. Didn't help she was on the golf team in high school. Seems like we bought cases of sun screen. She still uses it religiously to this day.

Our ancestors who lived and had kids within the equatorial regions developed darker skin which made them less prone to skin cancer caused by that very harsh sun. Later, as people moved into more northern or southern regions, they lost the dark skin and its protection. 1000's of years ago the Anatolian peoples who moved into that's now the Scandinavian region were much darker in all aspects and that was lost in time. Humans without climate stress will become milky white in X generations. If you like to go without that ski cancer, go with the skin screen option.
