Actually, Nancy, I have read somewhere that sun exposure is not the real
cause of skin cancer (melanoma) but other contributing factors, and that
exposure to the sun (within reasonable limits) actually helps against
melanoma. But I don't have the source readily available. If sun exposure
alone were the cause of melanoma, one would expect the citizens of
equatorial or sun-drenched countries to be dropping like flies from this
cancer, but I have not heard such.

Peter,

Very good post about your experience with sun exposure.

It really gives one food for thought about the condition of the body in
relation to the dire warnings of sun and skin cancer, which are rampant.
