The Justice Roberts Skin Cancer Prevention System & Trade Chief Justice John Roberts doesn't believe sunscreens need to be regulated. Apparently he has all the protection he needs -- we hear those robes offer excellent skin cancer prevention.In the 29 years that the FDA has been wavering on sunscreen regulations, the cosmetics industry has used some pretty crazy tactics to prevent them from passing. In 2001, for example, they hired a lawyer to threaten a lawsuit. The proposed regulations, the lawyer argued, violated the first amendment.In 2005, that lawyer took his seat as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America.That's right. As recently as 2001, Justice John Roberts was lobbying on behalf of the cosmetics industry -- a fact he failed to disclose during his hearings. Not only was Justice Roberts lobbying for the cosmetics industry, but he successfully blocked regulations that may have prevented countless cases of skin cancer.And this is the man running our Supreme Court. Doesn't it just make you feel all safe and cozy?Hopefully, without Roberts defending them this time around, the cosmetics industry won't be able block the FDA's recently proposed sunscreen regulations. In the meantime just follow Roberts' lead for skin cancer prevention: stay inside and swing decisions to the right. Looking for a safe, effective sunscreen for those last, long beach days? Check the sunscreen database. Best and worst lists

This concerns me because I'm so conscience of my skin. I worry about my daughter too. So who is going to look out for us? It's not the first time we hear of special interest groups lobbying to powerful political people. Maybe if some of them came down with cancer, they would do the right thing! Please check out that sunscreen database link which will show you all the sunscreen ratings. Now that summer is ending here in the Midwest, we could have used this information about four months ago. There is always next year.

Hi Dawn,
I would like to add some more info on prevention...
Drinking coffee and practicing regular exercise can also prevent skin cancer in the individuals who have sun damaged skin. Coffee and exercise encourage the production of tumor blocking protein in the body which helps to prevent the condition.
Exercise helps to lower the risk associated with melanoma-based skin cancers and some other forms of cancers like colon, breast, prostate, and liver cancers.
