This has got to be one of the most ignorant statements I've ever read in my life

You are an idiot. If any of what this bimbo says is true, MILLIONS would have died already from using sun screen.

@Tyler...I have to agree with you...If sun screen caused cancer with as many people who buys it and damn near take baths in it, you would think the number of skin cancer cases would be through the roof. sydy is an idiot and probably from Brazil also, which only goes to show you they're 2 peas in a pod

Sydy I'm with you. Why is it that people cannot think for themselves anymore. When did doctors all of a sudden become Gods on absolutely every topic under the sun? They're are not Gods, they are human beings that have been educated to treat diseases. These treatments are typically about prescribing drugs and doing surgery which they are very good at.

Let's face it, skin cancer is much more prevalent now than it has ever been in past history. With all the use of sunscreen how can that be possible. Do your homework and you'll figure it out. The internet is a wonderful thing..... so much education is out there to be had.

I suggest everyone here who made a comment about how doctors are experts and how can something be bad when "I was told it wasn't". Wake up people!!! Get on your computers and start READING!!!!

Giselle is not known for her brains. When I worked at VS and she was one of the national models, she was a flaming idiot but photographed in product well.

It's very clear we all need sunscreen when in the sun. No matter what this stupid girl says.

this is why models are better seen and not heard. i pity her child, she is too stupid too live

I don't no where your head is at?? I think Gisele is so pretty she has you in a trance!!People don't actually think sun screen is posonous do they?? It has been used for many,many years and ive never heard anyone getting cancer from it. And for somone to say the docs want you to get cancer so they can make money is just out right crazy!!

sunscreen has not been around long. we are just now beginning to see the effects of what could happen a couple of decades down the line. Even when i was a child sun screen was mild. Most only had an spf of 4-10. It is alrealready proven however that many ingredients found in sunscreen can have negative effects in high doses. Most dermatologists and skin care professionals are recommending wearing sunscreen everyday, year round. As a person with very fair skin I seriously limit my sun exposure any way but also because that wonderful sunscreen causes my skin to become red, inflamed, and has even cause broken capillaries on my face. I am not telling people to bake themselves like peolple used to but be cautious. There are dangerous chemicals in many things. I am an intelligent mother of 3 and I feel the same way about many things as she does. And not a new mother like her. I do not have the financial wherewithall to buy these all natural products. (Interject a complaint tothe industry here: Why is any product more expensive the fewer things you put in it? And suddenly it is "gourmet" or "specialty"? The woman is stating her opinion,that is all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I say do your own thing and venture forth with your eyes open.

I'm not saying that what she said is true, but medical studies have found that Vitamin A can actually cause skin cancer to proliferate. If you look at the ingredients in your sunscreen, Vitamin A will most likely be one of them. It's best to avoid sunscreens with Vitamin A and there aren't many that don't have it.

@Tammy.....You know it's funny that you are telling us to do our homework, because had you done yours you would have read about how skin cancer has actually drastically been reduced in populations that frequently use sun screen. Nice try though. Next time you want to try and make people feel stupid, maybe you should read the full article.

So let me guess, you must be a doctor and would know all of this stuff. Oh wait, no you couldn't be, because if you were you would realize that research and continuing education is required in the medical field to keep your license. I think it's funny that you say how much you hate when people put each other down, yet all you do is put doctors who obviously have a lot more knowledge and training than you do in this particular area, down. Why don't you practice what you preach and leave the medical advice to the experts.
I mean seriously how many people do you read about having gotten cancer by sunscreen? Hmmmmmm.....after thinking about that for awhile I can't think of a single one. Now how many people get melanoma from exposure to the sun? Millions are diagnosed annually. I 100% agree with the author and doctors in this article. She's nothing more than a model, so don't pretend that you're a medical expert. Oh, and the same goes for you too

'Doctors aren't knowledgeable and don't know about holistic concepts' you claim. Well I am an Internal Medicne specialist and we absolutely do know about such things because it is our job to know what works and doesn't for our patients.How do you know what we learn and study ? Your staement that we don't know of such things is foolish at best

@Dena: Excellent comment, I agree with what you're
saying 100%. Sunscreen is toxic from what my research has shown, and I would not put it on either. In fact, the so-called "science" that purportedly shows that the sun 'causes' skin cancer is highly questionable. If that were true, then virtually every sailor, seaman, farmer, or construction worker would have skin cancer, as they are exposed to direct sunlight for many hours/day. And cancer rates would be exponentially higher in the southern states than in the north. Such is not the case.

You're also correct about the snarky tone of the article. I guess they figure that put-downs will draw a bigger audience.

here, here...I completely agree with you...yours has been one of the only legible, intelligent comments I've read on the web in awhile.

@Bryan.....it's funny that you mention questionable science, because every little piece of so-called "research" that people are mentioning about the ingredients of sunscreen being harmful is exactly that, questionable. Every one of the studies made mention of have been shown to lack any scientific evidence, or have just plain been disproved. See this is exactly why this is such a big deal, because of people like you who go to wikipedia and believe everything written there as if it had been written by God.

Breast feeding is the best way to go in my opinion, but you seem to have forgotten though that not all women can breastfeed no matter how much they want to. So she really should have watched what she said because she criticizes women for using formulas for their babies but doesn't seem to understand that some of these women who cannot breastfeed have no other way to feed their child but to use formulas.

Anyways, people can't criticize her for her choices she makes for her child BUT she shouldn't criticize other mothers for theirs either.
