There's disturbing evidence of a
link between skin cancer and a
chemical found in sunscreens.
The National Center for Toxicological
Research discovered a possible connection
between skin cancer and an ingredient,
chemical, found in sunscreens.
One study showed tumors and lesions
formed 21% faster when lab animals were
covered in sunscreens with retinyl
palmitate, found in most popular brands.
The Food and Drug Administration has been
sifting through the data since July 2009,
but hasn't made a conclusion.
Senator Charles Schumer, New York, wants
the Food and Drug Administration to be
clear, specific, with investigation
findings. Senator Schumer isn't suggesting
people stop using sunscreens, but check
the ingredients, he clarified. Avoid
sunscreens with retinyl palmitate,
Senator Schumer continued
