Oh that's right, it actually increases the risk of cancer:
"Long-term exposure to artificial sources of ultraviolet rays like tanning beds (or to the sun's natural rays) increases both men and women's risk of developing skin cancer. In addition, exposure to tanning salon rays increases damage caused by sunlight because ultraviolet light actually thins the skin, making it less able to heal. Women who use tanning beds more than once a month are 55 percent more likely to develop malignant melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer."

Oh man, don't get me started on those banners. That these tanning places even exist is bad enough. Every time that I walk by here there's some 20-something girl with 50-something skin walking into this place.
If someone wants to make a site with actual science and facts, deathbytanning.org and .com are still available.

Hey all, vitamin D does help prevent breast cancer. A great source of the vitamin are UV rays.
Skin cancer is totally different. In either case, I cannot wait until milk companies advertise their wares with boobies on the jugs.
Yes, it has been shown that vitamin d can help reduce the risk of breast cancer. No one is arguing against that. Its the fact that a TANNING salon is using cancer prevention as a selling point. That is so incredibly irresponsible and unethical.
@5: Yeah, we get the obvious point. Troy was just rightly pointing out that, contrary to the sarcastic headline and "Right?" posted by Jack (who clearly didn't get the distinction), there is truth in the banner.
And we all want, for pure comedic imagery gold, that we want boobies on milk jugs.
I get the distinction, bigyaz. The point is, the distinction doesn't matter.
Agreed: Trading one form of cancer for another doesn't seem so wise.
Wise, probably not. Does it work? Probably.
Just take some vitamin D in pill form and spend a little time outside instead of baking yourself in a UV coffin.
That's just like you to recommend taking drugs.
