„Opaľovací krém spôsobuje rakovinu kože.“
Zdôvodnenie
Viaceré nezávislé profesionálne fact-checky (AFP, DW, Full Fact, Snopes) jednoznačne potvrdzujú, že neexistuje vedecký dôkaz na podporu tvrdenia, že opaľovací krém spôsobuje rakovinu kože. Naopak, opaľovací krém znižuje riziko rakoviny kože chránením pred UV žiarením, ktoré je hlavnou príčinou rakoviny kože.
„There is no scientific evidence that supports the association of sunscreen use with a higher risk of cancer. (DW). Sunscreen lowers the risk of skin cancer. (Full Fact)“

One 2021 study found just over a quarter of the sunscreens they tested were contaminated, but most had very small amounts of benzene and did not contain enough to meet the FDA’s recall threshold.
