can dramatically reduce the chances of developing breast, ovarian and colon cancer, as well as others.

Of course it can because the breasts, ovaries and colon are usually covered and protected from the sun.

But seriously, as one who has had a few bouts with basil cell carcinoma I'd suggest avoiding long periods exposed to the sun.

As a teen I regularly had serious sunburns. Starting at the age of 29, I have had over a dozen basal cell carcinomas removed. I had Moh's surgery for a squamous cell carcinoma in the mid- 1990's. I have spent most of 2005 undergoing surgery & interferon treatment for melanoma. I am 53 years old and if I had a way of posting photographs, would insert a 8 X 10 color glossy of the "wide local excision" done on the right side of my face. I think a few young people might think twice about spending hours at a tanning booth if they knew the truth about the potential consequences!
