Tanning beds...

[penguinz]

Yay or nay?

I go all the time. Tanning does not cause skin cancer. Getting fried all the time increases that risk.

I do - I try to stay dark enough in the summer - and just a tad in the months like now - I haven't gone for about 2 months now - I'll join again w/in 3 weeks or so. Esp. since you train Pen. Absolutely - why not? - it even makes you look bigger for some reason, as you probably already know - I can get really dark from the European on my mom's side.

I prefer a little color - so I say yes. And girls like it, don't think they don't - just don't get orange or get obsessed with it and you'll be fine.

just throw a towel only covering your junk and rest away. It's actually fairly relaxing.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

When you are in any type of ultraviolet light your thymine bases are damaged, forming dimers. This is so common that DNA has a specific proofreading mechanism that is designed solely to find these point mutations. It will fix the vast, vast majority of them, but the more exposure you have the more likely several are to slip by the goalie in a manner that can lead to an oncogenic mutation.

I've never understood the fascination with tanning for men or women. But whatever floats your boat..

'Hamas' never fails to impress me with his seemingly endless knowledge of random shit.

I believe he is entering the medical field. Probably isn't random.

You can find links between just about everything and causing cancer. I bet there is absolutely no way at all it can be genetics that are more to blame than anything else.

It is a good thing that UV is not responsible for creation of any crucial vitamins the body needs to be healthy.

Yeah but he knows a lot of other non-medical shit too. Probably just well read. He reminds me of an asshole version of my dad. With less conservative values.
