    Sunscreen causes skin cancer.

    I know it’s probably not true, and I wear sunscreen when I need to, but it just feels wrong slathering all those chemicals on my skin.

      Probably does since the sunscreen makers have been lying for years about how much protection their product actually offers. People slathered with 30 or 50 when it was really only 5 or 10.

      I fully believe it causes blood and bone cancer. The aerosol kind, due to benzene. My husband has polycythemia Vera secondary we think could have been caused by sunscreen. We live in a tropical area so we need it year round. Multiple doctors have mentioned it as well as a lawsuit we heard about locally.

        I am sorry to hear that :(

        Benzene is certainly a scary chemical and I hope things improve for you both.
