It is high time that some of these so-called 'experts' simply minded their own business! Whether or not children (or their parents) apply sunscreen or not is down to them. All this hysteria over sunburn (I too have often had sunburn, Ken, and was 61 this year) fails to take two things into account. Firstly, there is a whole lot of difference between the poweer of the rays of the sun we receive in this country, and what is normal for hot places such as the Mediterranean countries, Australia etc. Secondly, too little sun is just as bad for you --- I too have read that rickets is on the increase, due to a lack of vitamin D, partly no doubt due to the paranoia that the elf'n'safety industry have been feeding us for years.Lord of Atlantisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-5406650453275474952011-07-26T14:17:17.234+01:002011-07-26T14:17:17.234+01:00Ken said:

Could I remind everybody that academic "studies" always come to the conclusion desired by the interests sponsoring them, otherwise the academic gravy train would rapidly hit the buffers.<br /><br />It may come as no surprise that the UV absorbant dyes in sunscreen are themselves carcinogenic. Worse still, when absorbed through the skin subsequent exposure to solar UV results in the production of free radicals, themselves known to contribute to cellular damage that can lead to cancer. Indeed, that silly Australian "slip, slop, slap" campaign saw a sharp increase in the most deadly skin cancer, malignant melanoma. You won't find that featuring in Big Pharma's marketing for its sunscreen products.<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago I heard some spokesgob for the anti-sun Gestapo on Rdio 4 News announcing that adults are ignoring what he considers good advice, it was essential to get the anti-sun message indoctrinated into kids as early as possible. He stated that schools could sow the seeds. To be honest I thought I'd gone back 40 years to my teens and was listening to a short-wave propaganda broadcast from some Iron Curtain state at the height of the Cold War.Disgusted, Tunbridge Wellsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-63573593679763766412011-07-26T11:39:25.081+01:002011-07-26T11:39:25.081+01:00Vit D comes from meat and the sun's rays.....I...Vit D comes from meat and the sun's rays.....In Nanny's world, children have little opportunity to have either.<br />It amazes me that, so many of the diseases my generation thought we had got rid off, such as ricketts and TB are making a return.....Well done nanny; you have turned us into a third world nation and that takes some doing given that, you can't just un-invent modern things.Tonk.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-8724612867573884412011-07-26T10:42:40.398+01:002011-07-26T10:42:40.398+01:00Pedants' Corner
