Sunscreen Use Linked to Increased Cancer Risk

Have I been lied to as a Florida man about sunscreen

protecting me from cancer?

Yes, it appears we've all been lied to, unfortunately.

This massive study of over four hundred and seventy thousand

people confirms it. Um, it's very worrisome

that when they compared sunscreen users to non-sunscreen

users, the sunscreen users faced increased risks

of all the major skin cancers.

Tell me about the latest study.

Sunscreen users had increased risks of every single

type of skin cancer, including invasive melanoma,

squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma.

But the invasive melanoma was three hundred percent higher in the

sunscreen

users, higher than all the other cancers. And they...

And particularly what this study did, so not only was it the largest, but they

accounted for all the major skin cancer risk factors

as the confounding variable, so they were able to isolate the effect

of the sunscreen use. So they accounted for time spent outdoors,

sunburn history, skin color, age,

gender, literally everything. And there's lots of biological

plausibility behind sunscreens causing cancer.

The first one is that tw- a recent analysis of, like, hundreds of

sunscreen products found that twenty-seven percent of them are

contaminated with benzene, a known human carcinogen.

And so now that we have a JAMA study showing that sunscreen

ingredients are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream upon

topical administration, that means the benzene is

rapidly absorbed into the, in, deep into the

skin. And so you literally are slathering carcinogens over

yourself while at the same time blocking vitamin D

production, which is literally critical for cancer

defense.
