It's that time of year (rather short in Cleveland) where sunscreen becomes an issue. The more I read about sunscreen, the less I think it's a good solution to cancer. It apparently causes cancer. Go figure. This website ranks different ones though, as well as other skin care and body and baby products, and I use it to pick out ones that are less toxic:

Given the latest articles (sorry don't have a link, but they're everywhere) about how crucial Vitamin D is, and how deficient most people are (especially here in CloudLand) I'm trying to avoid sunscreen altogether. Even aside from Vitamin D, I guess there's benefits to sunlight that they haven't quantified yet. Chris read an article about MS and how it doesn't affect people in sunny areas at nearly the same rates it does in cloudy parts of the world. And they ruled out Vitamin D as a factor. So....unless we're outside in direct sunlight for a long time, during 11-3, I'm not using sunscreen. When we are, I've been using Neutrogena Baby, though it turns out Vitamin A can increase the rate of skin lesions and tumors when used in sunlight so...I have to find something else to buy....
