Breaking news! Tanning beds cause cancer!
In the most recent "no shit, we already knew that" study, it appears that cancer experts have now discovered that tanning beds increase your risk of cancer by 75 percent if you start using them regularly before the age of 30.
The new classification means tanning beds and other sources of ultraviolet radiation are definite causes of cancer, alongside tobacco, the hepatitis B virus and chimney sweeping, among others.
Also...
Previous studies found younger people who regularly use tanning beds are eight times more likely to get melanoma than people who have never used them. In the past, World Health Organization (WHO) warned people younger than 18 to stay away from tanning beds.

Uhhh, did they really need to do this study? I thought everybody knew this already? Going to a tanning salon is like putting your body into an oven and cooking it. Seriously, they spend millions and millions of dollars on stupid ass studies that we already know the answer to or people don't care about. For example, they've been doing studies on which is worse, butter or margarine, for like the last 20 years. Who the hell cares?
They need to spend this research money on something more beneficial, like developing legitimate penis enlargement pills or something...
