In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy discuss the research on sunscreen and cancer. It seems that people are putting a little too much faith in how sunscreen helps protect themselves from the threat of skin cancer. According to recent research less than 10% of the sunscreens tested performed as advertised. Between the fact that most people don’t use the proper amount and when they do they apply it incorrectly to some sunscreens having less spf protection than they say they have. The sunscreen industry has a lot of work to do to get their act together. For a complete list of the best and worst sunscreens out there – please go to the Environmental Working Group’s website at www.ewg.org for their sunscreen guide.
