The research was published online in the medical journal Lancet Oncology on Wednesday by experts at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, the cancer arm of the World Health Organization.

quote:

LONDON – International cancer experts have moved tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation into the top cancer risk category deeming both to be definite causes of cancer.

Cogliano said the classification means experts are confident that tanning beds cause cancer, but he noted they may not be as potent as other carcinogens like tobacco or arsenic.

Most lights used in tanning beds give off mainly ultraviolet radiation, which cause skin and eye cancer. As use of tanning beds has increased among people under 30, doctors have seen a parallel rise in the numbers of young people with skin cancer, though most types of skin cancer are benign.

Thank goodness I always preferred my natural white skin

Already 10+ years ago I used to say better white and alive then tanned and dead. But that's just my view about tanning...

There's really not much new here. The health risk of tanning beds has been obvious for quite some time.

difference between obvious and scientifically proven.

One would do bad to himself great deal if he has always waited for obvious things to get proven scientifically. Do not forget you are living in a world where scientific research is greatly controlled by industries, lobbies, governments, and academic taboos. Besides that measuring the effects of certain things takes decades even if the studies get enough funding early. Using the common sense is our best friend.
