WARNING: Tanning Beds

I just read this in OPRAH...

"Are you considering a visit to a tanning salon this winter? Then you might want to condsider this: The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has now moved tanning beds into its top cancer risk category - right alongside arsenic, mustard gas, and tobacco. The researchers' analysis or more than 20 studies, recently published in the medical journal Lancet Oncology, found that all types of ultraviolet radiation (UVA, UVB, and UVC) cause mutations in mice - proof that the radiation is carcinogenic. And there's another sobering conclusion. The risk of melanoma increases by 75 percent when tanning bed use begins before age 30. -J.B."

Think about that this winter.
