As far as resources, all you have to do is go to the Skin Care Foundation website and you will have all the statistics and research information that you need. I still stand by my post.

The risk of melanoma is cut by approximately 15% with regular occupational sun exposure. THe risk of breast cancer, and colorectal is cut from 50% to 67%, depending on the serum 25 (OH)D levels obtained from UV exposure. Also, overall cancer death risk is cut by over 1/3. That doesn't even include the cardiovascular benefits. Sorry, when I had to take the other links out to post, it took out some other information.

Squamous cell carcinoma claims 2,500 people a year. Melanoma claims 8,000 people a year. Breast cancer claims over 40,000 a year. colorectal cancer claims over 50,000 a year. Take a look at http://www.grassrootshealth.org/semi...sentations.htm Even if regular moderate use of a tanning bed made you 10 times more likely to get squamous cell carcinoma (it doesn't), studies show it could cut your risk of these other cancers. Squamous cell is the least deadly form of cancer. Regular UV exposure saves lives. Do the research. Don't accept the crap that the pimple poppers at the American Academy of Dermatology push down your throats each year. Now, I had provided links to valid sources for my information, but the system wouldn't let me. Where are yours sources?

Sorry but I have a little bit more common sense than that. I have seen the effects of skin cancer and am not willing to take that chance.
