Reduce Specific Types of Cancer
Many types of cancer - including breast, colon, prostate and ovarian - are slowed or inhibited by increased exposure to sunlight. More than 138,000 Americans die each year from breast, colon, ovarian and prostate cancers. One 1993 study claims that the wide spread public adoption of regular, moderate sun exposure could prevent 30,000 breast and colon cancer deaths each year.

As taken from the Smart Tan Network's Tanning Facts, March 15, 2000.

The significant risks involved with ultraviolet light are attributed to over-exposure - not to moderate tanning. No study has ever linked moderate tanning - indoors or outdoors - as a causative factor of any kind of permanent skin damage. Sunburn and heredity, on the other hand, are the main risk factors for skin damage.
