Boston Globe: LONDON – International cancer experts have moved tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation into the top cancer risk category, deeming both to be as deadly as arsenic and mustard gas
For years, scientists have described tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation as “probable carcinogens.’’A new analysis of about 20 studies concludes the risk of skin cancer jumps by 75 percent when people start using tanning beds before age 30. Experts also found that all types of ultraviolet radiation caused worrying mutations in mice, proof the radiation is carcinogenic. Previously, only one type of ultraviolet radiation was thought to be lethal.
The new classification means tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation are definite causes of cancer, alongside tobacco, the hepatitis B virus, and chimney sweeping, among others. Click here for the rest of story.
Ok peeps, consider this a Fist Pumpers Public Service Announcement. I know that 80% of you reading this article love taking in cancer rays but I’d just wanted to show that there is proof that not only do you lo0k completely fucking stupid with super nova fake tans but it also can kill your dumb ass with cancer. So if you are going to give yourself a fake tan…which I know you will; use spray tanning instead you tantastic bitches. Yes, I’m going to make fun you just as much for looking 10 shades too dark but at least you can have the piece of mind that it won’t cause cancer over one of your chessy tramp stamps or tribal tats. Who says WSW isn’t an informative website. I just saved thousands of lives by posting this. Ok, that’s kind of a stretch but maybe one of you will actually listen to me and that’s enough for my little heart.
Oh, I just read somewhere that you can layout out in the sun and it’s totally free!!!! Whoever thought of that is a frigin genius.
