“There has never been a single credible peer reviewed study suggesting that it offers any protection against melanoma whatsoever”– Investigative journalist Ian Wishart.
NZ Health Dept and Cancer Society recommend only half the internationally-recognised requirement for vitamin D.
The Cancer societies of NZ, Australia, Canada etc financially benefit from sunscreen sales and investigative journalist Ian Wishart says there is not one peer-reviewed, credible study to prove sunscreen prevents melanoma.
In fact sunscreen blocks vitamin D uptake from sun, raising the risk of cancer and other serious diseases.
Cancer Society does not rebutted this:
