HA! I TOLD YOU SO! 
Being a bit of a sun worshipper who loves to get a nice bronze glow, I get razzed plenty from the less informed media drones who like to tell me that I am going to get skin cancer from tanning. I have always scoffed (quietly to myself) at these remarks because quite frankly it sounded ridiculous to me. In an age where people are indoors, locked away in their little cubicles or office buildings, the rate of cancer is skyrocketing. It has nothing to do with exposure. How in the world did we evolve the last several thousand years without sun tanning lotion and being indoors all the time without dying from skin cancer like everyone claims? Silly I tell you.
There has been more scientific research done on what I already knew that has confirmed that tanning won’t make you get skin cancer, it will actually prevent even other form of cancer from developing! This has prompted the Canadian Cancer Society to advise Canadians to either get tanning, or start getting ore Vitamin D. Your body naturally produces Vitamin D from being in the sun. Many people are deficient from being indoors all the time and not getting enough sun. These are the ones that are getting the cancer, not the sun tanners. Obviously naturally occurring Vitamin D is much better than the synthetic variety, however, if you have too many excuses for not getting enough sun in your life, than you best stock up on your Vitamin D in your diet. 
So for all you fellow sun tanners out there, tell your uneducated friends about this. It may just save their lives.
