Tanning Industry officially supplying “false and misleading” information
Posted in Dermatology on February 2, 2012
Tsk Tsk.
That those tanning salons are not telling the truth is not surprising, is it? A study was recently done were people called 300 tanning salons around the country posing as 16-year old fair-skinned girls. The salons were asked if there was any health risk (specifically, cancer risk) associated with tanning. 90% of salons said there were no health risk associated with indoor tanning. Well, that's just a bunch of !#@! hooey!
Did you know there are more tanning salons than Starbucks? It is a huge industry that has aggressive lobbying groups in Washington D.C.
Here is the study for you to read
Remember: it's ok to be the color you were born.
