We so no tan. Here’s NYTimes:
After reviewing previous studies, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, reclassified tanning beds from “probably carcinogenic” to simply “carcinogenic,” saying the risk of melanoma increases by 75 percent in people who begin using tanning beds before the age of 30. The agency’s research was published on The Lancet Oncology’s Web site last month. It is too soon to tell how the tanning bed business will be affected. James Oliver, chief executive of Beach Bum Tanning, with more than 25 salons in New York state, said “people are coming in and asking about it, but we have not seen a decrease in business.” But the study is prompting many in the blogging community to ponder if “pale is the new tan.” – from NYTimes
