Beware the danger of the wrong sunblock
UVB is what generates Vitamin D in your body. UVA is what you want to blockif you want to
decrease your chance of getting a fatal cancer. See the medical studies in www.newmedicineonline.com.
Just because something is advertised doesn't mean you should buy it - in fact,
a great rule of thumb is: if you need something they don't have to pay big $$ to
advertise it on TV.

Canadian study shows link with low Vitamin D and cancer deaths
those with low Vitamin D levels were 94% more likely
to have their cancer spread and 73 per cent more likely to die.
The study is not available online or listed in PubMed yet
but I will post links as soon as they are available.

The UN-news season is upon us but BEWARE of Sun Screens!.
our first shark-scare story.
It was predictable.
It was inevitable.
It was essentially meaningless except for the individuals
touched by the tragedy - it means nothing more than a
story about someone being killed by a lightning strike
which is much more common than shark kills.
It is too soon to know if this will be the big "scare" story
theme for this Summer. It could still be the Red Tide; people
stealing cars from vacationers just to get the gas in their tanks;
but we know there will ALWAYS be a big and,
critically important, a scary story running through the
Summer to keep people watching the TV news.
A perrenial story is that of the need for sun screen.
The TV always gets this wrong. Sun screens, like window
glass, filter out half of the UV. Unfortunately the blocked part (UVB)
is the part that generates Vitamin-D. UVA, passed by glass
and most sun screens, actually destroys Vitamin-D, perhaps
explaining the increase in deaths due to Vitamin-D defficiency.
According to
Photochemistry and Photobiology: Vol. 81, No. 6, pp. 1276–1286.
about 60,000 people in the U.S. and another 20,000 in the
United Kingdom die each year of a lack of Vitamin-D.

Bear in mind these are only the hospital lab confirmed cases, actual
cases are 100 to 1000 times greater.

Tax Day, no rush
the deadline, you need to learn what they never say on TV - all you
really need to do is estimate what (if anything ) you owe and send it
along with IRS Form 4868 to get months extra to finish those returns.
