Remember, the sun is good/bad for you!
by: The Good Reverend

After years of the collective wisdom telling us to get out of the sun lest we get cancer, new findings prove that the sun is now good for your skin.

Evidently, sunlight (I’m thinking specifically, UV light, although the article doesn’t say), triggers your body to send T-cells to the skin surface, thus removing damaged skin cells.  I, for one, am not surprised by these findings.  I enjoy a good light bronze color, so I lay out for brief periods in the summer and even hit the tanning beds for 10 minutes a month during winter to keep that tan.  And as you probably have all experienced, when you get a bit of sunlight (not enough to burn), ya just feel gooood.  You feel both relaxed and energized at the same time.  Must be those T-cells workin’!

So remember, kids!  Sunlight causes/prevents cancer!
