the news

okay, so Runner Boy hates the news. i enjoy the news...most of the time.

tonight was the perfect example of why Runner Boy hates the news.

there was a story about sun screen. the dangers of sunscreen. why? because some brands contain forms of vitamin A which can intensify some of the sun's dangerous effects. some brands contain oxybenzone--a chemical which can disrupt hormones.

so, some sun screens are DANGEROUS.

then, the reporter went to the local medical school/teaching hospital to talk to one of the experts. the doctor notes that some of the science behind concerns over sunscreen is sketchy. therefore, he would recommend DAILY use of sun screen to protect skin from the harmful effects of the sun.

now we know that sun screen is DANGEROUS and that it should be used DAILY.

that's why runner boy hates the news.
