55 Rampant Health Myths That Need to Die

Myth: Sunscreen causes cancer

‘Some patients believe that the chemicals in sunscreens cause cancer. However this has never been proven, and the studies linking the two are greatly flawed. If you take a sample of people, the ones that wear sunscreen are far more likely to be at risk for skin cancer and have lighter skin types.

These people are naturally more prone to skin cancer and also wearing sunscreen as they burn easily but this does not mean the sunscreen is causing the cancer- without it they’d have far more cancer!’ – Eric Meinhardt, MD, dermatologist at California Dermatology Specialists.
