Sun-haters want you to be pasty.

Just saw this article suggesting that there are very few sunscreens that are effective. According to the Environmental Working Group, a hat and long sleeve shirt are the only things that will protect you from the evil sun.

These must be the same people who will tell you that drinking ice water is bad for you.

Life is short. Would you rather sit indoors wondering whether your sunscreen is going to kill you, or go out and spend the few precious days you have on this Earth enjoying the warm rays?

Remember that these research institutions need to make a name for themselves so people will give them money. Once in a while, an important warning comes along, and we should listen. Certainly overexposure to the sun and resulting Melanoma fall into that category. But really, when was the last time you wore SPF 30 (correctly applied) and got a sunburn?

Don't sweat the small stuff, and make sure you do some living before you die.
