Tanning beds

Coincidence?

You decide.

So shortly after I reported on Global TV that a new study has found that people who use tanning beds have a significantly higher risk of developing a malignant melanoma, the most serious and still sometime deadly form of skin cancer, a link that was particularly enhanced if the tanning bed user had started that habit at an early age, the US FDA announced that tanning beds must now come with a warning that the use of tanning beds raises the risk of skin cancer.

You think the FDA monitors Global TV?

Me neither and to be fair, that study I referred to appeared on lots and lots and lots of health sites.

But hey, why not dream about being influential?


No harm in it.
