Block penned an essay in the Huffington Post this week \u2014 joining British oncologist Dr. Tim Oliver as cancer-fighting doctors willing to stand up to the cosmetic dermatology industry in print. \u201cOn one hand, we've all been warned of the dangers that lurk behind those healthy-looking tans \u2014 most notably, an increased risk of skin cancer and premature wrinkles. On the other hand, there is also reasonable evidence that sun exposure does not induce melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer,\u201d Block wrote. \u201cIn fact, there are several studies that demonstrate sun exposure can actually protect us from cancer! To be specific, the exposure to UVB sun radiation has been shown to reduce the risk of 19 major types of cancer through the production of vitamin D.\u201d Block\u2019s recommendation: Get 20 minutes of unprotected sun exposure daily. \u201cThis is essential for meeting our most basic needs for Vitamin D. Once this is taken care of, I recommend both physical protection; i.e., hats, clothing and umbrellas, as well as chemical protection \u2014 sunscreens. However, it must be mentioned that many sunscreens on the market today have come under fire not only due to inaccurate labeling \u2014 a product states it has an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 50 and it's actually a four \u2014 but many have been found to contain a host of controversial chemicals that include potential carcinogens, cancer promoters, free radical generators and hormone disruptors. In addition, the use of sunscreen is known to reduce the production of Vitamin D in the body.\u201d To read Block\u2019s full essay in The Huffington Post click here.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sunscreenstory722.jpg"}
