I want to know your opinions.

I was taught that sun screen helped prevent cancer due to sun burns.

Is this site telling the truth?

Answer 1

LOL. Somehow, probably from the use of the word &quot;screen&quot; in the title, Y/A sent you to the &quot;TV Electronics&quot; forum. Obviously, you are in the wrong forum. Go to Y/A Categories and find one that applies, perhaps in Health and you will probably get a pretty good discussion going. But not here.

Answer 2

Yes Sunscreen Lotion helps in protecting your skin and that in turns prevent your skin from so many things like Sun burn or skin cancer but if the skin is very exposed to sun and due to UV radiation there might be a chance of skin cancer. But still scientist wont get a direct relation of stopping the skin cancer and SUN SCREEN.

But there is a old proberb PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.

Some details about the sun screen is given below

Sunscreen (also known as sunblock or suntan lotion[1]) is a lotion, spray or other topical product that absorbs or reflects the sun&#039;s ultraviolet (UV) radiation and protects the skin.

Sunscreens contain one or more UV filters of which there are three main types[2] :

Organic chemical compounds that absorb ultraviolet light (such as oxybenzone)

Inorganic particulates that reflect, scatter, and absorb UV light (such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide), or a combination of both.[clarify]

Organic particulates that mostly absorb light like organic chemical compounds, but contain multiple chromophores, may reflect and scatter a fraction of light like inorganic particulates, and behave differently in formulations than organic chemical compounds.[clarify] An example is Tinosorb M.

Some interesting facts:The first effective sunscreen may have been developed by chemist Franz Greiter in 1938. The product, called Gletscher Crème (Glacier Cream), subsequently became the basis for the company Piz Buin (named in honor of the place Greiter allegedly obtained the sunburn that inspired his concoction), which today is a well-known marketer of sunscreen products.
