Will France be the next country after Brazil and Australia to ban sunbeds? The campaign against use of sunbeds is intensifying and entering Europe. After the horrendous miscarriage of justice with a ban of indoor tanning in Australia (see this article) France seems to be the chosen country to spearhead the banning of sunbeds in Europe. The French The Local reported yesterday about call from the association 60 Million Consumers for France to ban sunbeds. Here is some of the content of the report in The Local : Could France be the next country to ban sunbeds? The Local France has around 40,000 sunbeds in tanning lounges around the country but could they soon become outlawed? One of the country s leading consumer rights associations has called for them to be banned due to the health risks. The association 60 Million Consumers called for the nationwide ban after carrying out an investigation into tanning salons, which research shows enhance the chances of developing skin cancer. Th

Can sunbeds be used to make vitamin D and would you use a sunbed to make vitamin D? Those are two of six questions about sunlight and sunbeds put by GrassrootsHealth to four leading experts on vitamin D. Vitamin D Experts about Sunlight and Sunbeds Here are some of the answers to those two questions. (Scroll down for the full video) Q: Can Sunbeds be used to make vitamin D, especially in the winter for North Americans? Robert P. Heany, MD, Professor of Medicine, Creighton University: “Sunbeds can be used as an alternative to going outdoors, particularly in the winter when you wouldn’t want to expose much skin anyway. And they do make vitamin D in your skin and they can do it perfectly well.” Reinhold Veith, PhD, Professor, University of Toronto: “Sunbeds, of course, can be used to make vitamin D. One of the ways we measured the amounts of vitamin D, the skin has the capacity to make, answering the question: ‘How much vitamin D does the sun give you?’, nobody has actuall

Trending Tanning Topics weekly round-up of the most popular (in social media) tanning topics last week. In this weekly round-up of trending tanning topics and vitamin D news from around the world, I am going to cover: Three articles from Daily Mail Online; some anti-UV hysteria by AIM at Melanoma and also a couple of promotions from tanning suppliers. The Daily Mail Online is an interesting tabloid when it comes to tanning related articles. Without adding any editorial bias or opinion, they present some stories which advocate the benefits of tanning and other stories which totally condemns any attempts to catch some rays. This week was no exemption. In this first article, a journalist at Daily Mail Online reports about a research which reveals that you can lose weight by tanning. Researchers from Edinburgh and Southampton universities claim to have identified a chemical, Nitric Oxide, which is released in the blood when the skin is exposed to UV-light (i.e. during tanning). The benef

Lose Weight With Yoga The President’s Periodic Physical Exam shows that President Obama has a mild Vitamin D deficiency . According to the President’s Periodic Physical Exam in May 2014, President Obama s level of Vitamin D was 22.9 (ng/ml). A Vitamin D level of below 30 ng/ml is considered as insufficient by most standards except by the American Food and Nutrition Board. They believe that 20 ng/ml is enough. Apparently the president s physician, Ronny L. Jackson, do not believe in the recommendations by the Food and Nutrition Board. In the table below, with courtesy of the Vitamin D Council, you can find the guidelines for Vitamin D 25(OH)D levels and also the recommended intake of vitamin D supplements from various organizations: Vitamin D Levels Compared By The Vitamin D Council Was the information about President Obama s vitamin D insufficiency censored by the White House? Initially, several media outlets reported about President Obama s physical exam and especially

Centuries ago, when Vikings and other European seafarers took to the high seas for years at a time, they pioneered new trade routes and they mostly died of skin cancer. Native American Indians, living mostly outdoors, also mostly died of skin cancer. What? You never heard that? Right. Because it didn’t happen. Here are a few things that really did…
Karl G‘s insight:
Excellent article and a positive surprise that a medical institution actually cares about peoples health and not only about how to satisfy their sponsors from Big Pharma.
Even if I am the first to agree that cosmetic giants invented the sun-scare in the early 1980-ies, let’s not forget the fact that most cancer councils, that now are driving early skin cancer screening campaigns, are sponsored by pharmaceutical giants.
The reason is obvious. Regular and moderate sun-exposure is their biggest competitor. Their sales would drastically decrease if every person had enough exposure to ultraviolet light. The Vitamin D level, most likely only one of many healthy products of sun-exposure, is perhaps also an indicator that we get enough sun.
All UVR are, however, not created equal. In this article, I describe the different action spectra for Vitamin D, pigmentation and erythema:

Karl G‘s insight:
FDA and AAD (The American Association of Dermatologists) revs up their efforts to kill the indoor tanning business. But how big are really the risks of getting malign melanoma from using sunbeds? 30 million people in America use sunbeds without dying from skin cancer. Indoor tanning can’t be isolated as a risk factor. But if it could, and statistically, the risk would be 1 in 33,000, placing it somewhere between the risk of dying in an air travel accident and legal executions.

Lose Weight With Yoga How big is the risk of indoor tanning in reality and will the new rules from the FDA reduce the risk of getting melanoma from sunbeds? The new rules from FDA about sunbeds are plainly wrong and based upon fiction and PR, not facts. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is the regulatory authority in USA responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, quality, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products, and medical devices. The FDA is also responsible for the safety and security of most of our nation’s food supply, all cosmetics, dietary supplements and products that give off radiation. Recently (29 May 2014) FDA announced new rules for “Sunlamp Products”: Indoor Tanning Raises Risk of Melanoma: FDA Strengthens Warnings for Sunlamp Products Using sunlamp products such as tanning beds or tanning booths increases the risk of skin damage, skin cancer and eye injury, according to the Fo
