Bob Berman \u2014 an American astronomer described as a \u201cscience populizer\u201d for writing books such as \u201cThe Sun\u2019s Heartbeat: An Other Stories from the Life of the Star That Powers Our Planet\u201d \u2014 wrote last week that the advent of mass-sunscreen sales has spawned an unnatural generation that is just now waking up to the fact that sun avoidance kills. According to Berman, when humans started wearing sunscreen 365\/24 in the past generation, \u201cThe metamorphosis was complete: we had become like the Morlocks in H. G. Wells's book The Time Machine, shielded almost totally from sunlight's UV.\u201d Berman\u2019s column \u2014 which appeared in high-tech blog Gizmodo.com \u2014 quoted vitamin D guru Dr. John Cannell extensively. Cannell will be part of the scientific symposium being conducted as a pre-convention function at Smart Tan Downtown, Oct. 14 in Downtown Nashville. To read Berman\u2019s column, click here.
