Sunscreen Not So Good for You?
j-beda writes "Don't like sunscreen? Maybe that tan is good for you. It looks like people are rethinking the common wisdom of avoiding sun exposure... "research suggests that vitamin D might help prevent 30 deaths for each one caused by skin cancer". Maybe if Kurt Vonnegut ever does address MIT grads, he will say something else..."
I'm a vampire, you insensitive clod !
Crivens! I kicked meself in me own heid!
Ah, so not only tanning makes you look cool, it saves you from dying? Yet another great reason to give in to peer-pressure! o:)
...leading scientist say that while drinking four to five glasses of water a day is quite healthy, walking around with the garden hose duct-taped to your mouth may cause serious harm.
If science has taught us anything it's that:
1) Everything in moderation.
2) Research causes cancer in lab-rats.

You assume that all people naturally can withstand 15 minutes. I burn after 5, and I live in Michigan.
All normal people can withstand 15 minutes. If you burn after five you're hypersensitive to the sun, and probably aware that you are.
I'm lactose intolerant, and I know that even though milk is good for you it's not good for me. (Fortunately there's lactose-free milk nowadays.)
Now, the proper way to comment on something like this:
I burn after 5 minutes in the sun, YOU INSENSITIVE CLOD!

Unnatural, isn't it?
Personally, I don't do anything unnatural to my food. No other animal cooks their food, so I don't cook anything I eat, or eat anything that I didn't pull from the ground or kill with my bare hands.
Also, I eat it without utensils, since no other animal does that, and I don't prepare anything I eat - I just pull whatever I want from the carcass right there. My backyard is starting to stink a lot, since I don't bury anything I kill since animals don't.
It's healthier because animals do it that way.
Mod me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!
If you don't consume dairy, you'll go insane.
Every vegan I've ever met has been some degree of crazy. The less dairy they were willing to eat the crazier they were. Drink milk, stay sane.
