The Dangers Of Sunscreen! Cancer Risk?

Dr Greger shared a recent bombshell about sunscreen and sun tan lotion so in this video we’re going to learn why many sunscreens on the market are hazardous to our health but also which kinds are safe to use! We are absolutely no recommending you don’t use any sunscreen but we are advocating for using the safe one if you are able! It’s my opinion that if financially you’re not in a position to afford the recommended sunscreen then it’s still better to use the stuff you can buy at your local store than none at all!
