So all 30 of these studies since the 1980s was in this meta-analysis.
When they combined all this 30 studies combined over the 40 years, the odds ratio of getting skin cancer when using sunscreen was over one.
So what that means is all the evidence of the past 50 years
shows that yeah you are there is technically a higher risk of getting skin cancer when using sunscreen now it was only eight percent and technically it wasn't statistically significant so now we get to the important part over those 40 years there was 370 000 people
Then we got to this next study in 2023 that had 470,000 people bigger, larger than the 30 studies combined previously.
And so the latest study found that
Sunscreen users had increased risks of every single type of skin cancer, including invasive melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma.
But the invasive melanoma was 300% higher in the sunscreen users, higher than all the other cancers.
And particularly what this study did, so not only was it the largest, but they accounted for all the major skin cancer risk factors as the confounding variable.
So they were able to isolate the effect of the sunscreen use.
So they accounted for time spent outdoors, sunburn history, skin color, age, gender, literally everything.
And so that's the state of the epidemiological evidence that, yeah, you use sunscreen, you're at an increased risk of skin cancer.
Literally, again, all 30 studies combined over the past 40 years shows actually the risk is increased.
I mean, so these individuals, I don't know, they just conflate
They basically make stuff up because they don't want to believe it's true, unfortunately.
So what they'll say is, oh, it's just an association.
And it's the sunscreen paradox where sunscreen users just go out in the sun more.
But that doesn't explain why the study that accounted for going out in the sun more still found the increased risks in cancers.
Yeah, correct.
It literally accounted for all of those factors mentioned.
