Says Len Lichtenfeld, a doctor with the American Cancer Society:<FONT color="#1c39bb"> “This report puts to rest the argument that tanning with UVA light is safe…. As noted by the IARC report, UVA light is also a class I carcinogen and should be avoided” [<A href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/news/20090728/who-tanning-beds-cause-cancer">WebMD</A>].</FONT> However, indoor tanning association spokespeople still maintain that tanning beds are not dangerous when used properly.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/92004268-E1F9-4D51-B655-2FF935198787/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
