"A
must read for anyone who puts sunscreen oils or blocks on their body.
Dr. Plourde exposes the hazards of these biochemicals with an enormous
amount of literature and documentation to back it up.
As
she says, there are no safe sunscreens."

Be wary of plastering yourself with
sunscreen: not only may it be ineffective in filtering our UVA and UVB rays,
it may be carcinogenic and also casue irreparable damage to aquatic
environments. Medical researcher and clinical laboratory scientist
Elizabeth Plourde, PhD, has over 25 years' experience in medical research
including in cancer, genetics and endocrinology. In Sunscreens -
Biohazard, inspired bya trip to sun soaked Hawaii and her reaction to
bleached corals, she brings her scientific knowledge to bear on just how
disruptive the chemicals in sunscreens really are. Many sunscreens now
incorporate nanoparticle forms of the metallic zinc oxide and titanium
dioxide as surface screens, yet the particulates allow for the absorption of
even more UVA rays and also present a real danger to aquatic creatures by
disrupting the entire local ecology.
It is alarming that rates of various types of
skin cancer are on the rise, despite education campaigns and the vastly
increased uptake of sunscreen preparations. The endocrine-disrupting
chemicals that make up these sunscreens can play havoc with cell division
and cause cancer, chronic illnesses, autism and other neurological problems.
Not only that, they can prevent the uptake of vitamin D, which is essential
to our health and is best absorbed through sunscreen-free sunlight exposure
in short bursts at the right time of day.
Dr. Plourde is to be applauded for her
important book that regards sunscreens as hazardous waste.
