FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda TUESDAY, July 17 (HealthDay News) — Restrictions on young people’s use
of indoor tanning have been introduced by several countries in recent
years, a new study reports.
Research suggests that indoor tanning is linked to skin cancer, the
study authors pointed out.
Between 2003 and 2011, the number of countries with nationwide
restrictions on the use of indoor tanning by people under 18 increased
from two (Brazil and France) to 11 (Austria, Belgium, Brazil, England,
France, Germany, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Scotland, Spain and Wales),
according to the study released online in advance of print publication in
the Archives of Dermatology.
“Since 2003, youth access to indoor tanning has become increasingly
restricted throughout the world as accumulating evidence demonstrated an
association between melanoma and indoor tanning. Additional countries and
states are developing indoor tanning restrictions or making their existing
legislation more restrictive,” study author Dr. Mary Pawlak, of the
Colorado School of Public Health, in Aurora, and colleagues said in a
journal news release.
Experts at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, in New York City,
voiced their opinion on the issue in an accompanying commentary. “Ideally,
a ruling at the federal level to restrict tanning will have the most
far-reaching impact. However, in the absence of a complete ban in the near
future, other strategies to limit UV exposure to minors can be promoted,”
according to Lucy L. Chen and Dr. Steven Q. Wang.
“As dermatologists, we can play many unique roles in this ongoing
health campaign. On a daily basis, dermatologists can educate and
discourage patients, especially teenagers, from using tanning beds,” the
editorialists noted. “On a legislative level, we can provide testimony as
health experts and serve as advocates for key legislation in our
individual states.”
