First Critical Review

Dr. Jennifer Ashton was interviewed on the CBS Morning Show, to talk about the effects of tanning in a tanning salon. She says that a study concluded last summer showed that indoor tanning is just as cancer causing as the ultraviolet radiation of the sun. The article goes on to say that skin cancer is visible because it causes the skin to change. The American Academy of Dermatology Association reported that the risk of melanoma is 75 percent higher among people who used tanning beds in their teens and twenty’s. Jennifer Ashton said, “Safe tan isn’t possible,” dermatologist also believe this. Another thing she mentions is that everyone is at risk.
I personally believe that tanning beds do not completely cause cancer. Yes, it is a main cause that is being proven but it could also be a coincidence. Many people that use tanning beds also lay out by the pool or on the beach therefore, many people are at risk but some that end up with cancer never used a tanning bed. I do however; believe that everyone is at risk for melanoma whether it be a guy or a girl.
