Choosing the Safest and Most Effective Sunscreen (webinar recording)

Given that the absorption of chemicals in sunscreen into our bloodstream is greater than previously thought, what are the safest types of sunscreen? Has it been proven to prevent skin aging and cancer?

Up to 90 percent of visible facial aging is due to sun exposure. Randomized controlled trials have put the daily application of sunscreen to the test for both slowing skin aging and preventing skin cancer. In this one-hour webinar recording, Dr. Greger goes over the pros and cons of regular use of sunscreen, details the best way to apply it, and discusses how to choose the safest brands, which is of particular importance, given recent findings that the absorption of chemicals in sunscreen into our bloodstream is greater than previously thought.
