Spring Break skin: Pass the sunscreen or get burned
Last Sunday, we started our Best of News Illustrated series, a collection of graphics hand-picked by the staff on a variety of timeless subjects.
We specifically chose "Killer Tans" to kick off the series, since we're in the middle of Spring Break season. Appropriate since a trip down A1A in Fort Lauderdale will tell you that there's a lot of people who are getting their daily doses of vitamin D.
Renee Kwok's page was originally published in 2006. It's an oldie, but a goodie. And you may learn something new!
If you want more information, check out the Food and Drug Administration's site, as well as Tanning Facts and Tanning Truth.
Or, if you want a break from reading, check out the Sun-Sentinel's Spring Break gallery.
Enjoy!
Comments
Unless you live in a sunny area and expose yourself to the sun on a regular basis most are way below optimal levels of vitamin D. Take a look at www.vitaminD3world.com it gives you the data that led to the Canadian Cancer Society recommending that everyone takes vitamin D to prevent cancer
