OAK BAY – People who have craved the heat took full advantage of the 30+ temperatures today. Willows beach was packed, littered with beach toys. With the sun comes a high UV index and a doctors’ warning to cover up and protect your skin from the risk of getting skin cancer. But some say sunscreen could be bad for you. A new study warns that the most common form of sunblock could be full of toxic ingredients which could be cancer-causing. A study by the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit group in the United States, found that only 8 per cent of 500 tested sunscreens could be recommended for consumer use. The concern? Potentially toxic or unstable ingredients, some of which could become carcinogenic when exposed to sunlight.
VIHA’s Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Richard Stanwick understands that some people may be worried about the chemicals used in sunscreen, but adds that the findings are not definitive.
But that possibility is enough for some people to choose other sun-protection options, from all-natural sunscreens to hats and long-sleeved clothes.

I am so freaked out. I first saw this article on the Yahoo homepage from the Washington Post. Something about sunspots not reappearing signifying a possible event that will make life on Earth unsuitable or non-existent by 2012-2013. Apparently, NASA is involved and studying this. Some speculation that the sun may also be shrinking. Is this accurate?
It’s all garbage, unfounded and over-sensationalized media food. Don’t worry about it.
The first long stretch of summer sun is shining on Greater Victoria. With the blast of much needed heat comes a warning from dermatologists. 75, 000 Canadians are diagnosed with skin cancers every year and 2 to 3 people die every day because of melanoma.
Having a golden glow is widely seen as healthy, desirable and youthful. There are ways to achieve a tan without the harmful effects of the sun — they include store-bought self-tanners and pricier professional spray-on tan procedures.
