But trust me on the sunscreen
About 500 of the most popular sunscreen products may actually increase the speed at which malignant cells develop and spread skin cancer because they contain vitamin A or its derivatives.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has known of the potential danger for as long as a decade but has said nothing to the public, the FDA denies everything of course even though it was them and the National Toxicology Program who did a study in 2000 but what good is the FDA ?
The Environmental Working Group in their annual report to consumers say that only 39 of the 500 products they examined were considered safe and effective to use. I suspect the 39 products are the zinc based more expensive ones without the claims for detox and anti-aging.
Most sunscreens contain the chemical 'oxybenzone' which penetrates the skin and enters the bloodstream and vitamin A and its derivatives, retinol and retinyl palmitate, may speed up the cancer so for years we've been trying to give ourselves cancer . A funny thing is that even doctors give out vitamin A creams for people with skin cancer.
SPF 100 really performs like SPF 3.2, SPF 30 rating equates to a 2.3 and an SPF 15 translates to 2.
Old Knudsen is extremely white and has used SPF 50 while in America and still got burnt but felt a little protected but now he feels like hes been prison raped and not in a good way either.
The sunscreens in Europe have better regulations as you'd expect because you can yap all you like about socialist cuntries but we don't go out of our way to poison the people and actually enforce monopoly rules for the common good instead of backing up the rich to do as they please.
The US Food and Drug Administration are a bunch of collaborating tossers who say what the self- interest groups want them to say.
For instance ammonium perchlorate from rocket fuel and other hazardous waste is a big contaminate in the drinking water throughout America and affects the thyroid gland and messes with the development of children.
The FDA say the perchlorate is at a safe level and yet they have a contract to be supplied with bottled drinking water for their employees.
On their website they say cell phone waves don't cause cancer so that must be true they also say that the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico may taint sea food in colour , taste and smell but the public shouldn't worry.
The FDA has no teeth and can only make suggestions when a restaurant poisons its customers but does it have to lie? why not error on the side of common sense and caution?
Old Knudsen thinks its fair to say that most things now a days will cause you ill and beware of the new Nanotechnologies being developed in creams and cosmetics as that will totally screw you over on a molecular level.
