And mark my words - some day the use of sun screen will be tied the recent increase in skin cancer cases.

How did the species survive for thousands of years before the invention of sun screen?

I have it on good authority that leaded paint provides the same level of protection if you eat enough of it.

People didn't strip off most of their cloths and spend all day laying in the sun. They covered their skin and looked for shade. And even with that, they got skin cancers, but most were dead from something else before they lived long enough for the cancer to kill them.

It already has been, do a google on it. The benefits of sunshine outweigh the risks of sun cancer.
