Does Sunscreen Cause or Prevent Skin Cancer?

Sunscreen is put to the test in a randomized controlled trial to see if it can actually prevent skin cancer.

The most exciting part of that study is the spontaneous regression of more than 100 precancerous growths in the sunscreen group. They completely vanished! Their body, even in an immunocompromised state, could heal itself once it just stopped being bombarded with so many cancer-causing rays.

In the last video, we learned that wearing sunscreen is the most important thing you can do for skin care (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-single-most-important-thing-for-anti-aging-skin-care/). Next, we look at The Best Type of Sunscreen to Use (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-type-of-sunscreen-to-use/).
