Mari – I can’t agree with you more. And I can’t disagree more with part of what of Drusilla said about “slightly tanned is a sign of ultrsviolet radiation damage.” The CDC published the following stats: Numebr of Skin Cancers per 100,000 by race………..
White – 22

This clearly shows that the more melanin that a person produces and the darker the skin the less skin cancer. I have been working with MT II for over a year and have found that the results are amazing. Although MT II has not been approved by the FDA it is possible for people to conduct their own research on tanning, as well as weight loss, increase in libido, and erectile dysfunction..all of which are desirable side effects of MT II. Be informed..go to http://www.tantrahealthandbeauty.com to begin your research into healthy living.
Moderation vs excess is the answer to the question not asked. When we expose our skin to UV rays, the melanocytes in our bodies goes into action to produce melanin which turns brown to protect the skin from Ultraviolet rays. When the body cannot produce enough melanin, the results of overexposure is burning. The damaging results of burning do not turn into cancer overnight but sometimes takes as long as 20 years for the negative results to rear their ugly head.Preventing burning is the key. Melanotan II or MTII, which is still in the experimental stange after 40+ years, or a heavy load of L-Tyrosine are good ways to support your melanocytes keeping them producing melanin. In the case of MTII, the results are doing what your body does naturally only quicker … it causes it to produce more melanin, thereby avoiding burning in the first place…only tanning, and the results are amazing. Check out http://www.tantrahealthandfitness.com to see the results of MTII and also to see the SkinLife supplements that provide a load of L-Tyrosine along with other supportives. Mari
