Acutally I do not care. I have always thought that if cancer gets me let it be too much sun for $1000 Alex.

A Dermatologist's Worst Nightmare
Bonnie: Dermatologists are in lock step when it comes to the sun: avoid it like the plague! Unfortunately, this is very bad advice. Yes, being smart about sun exposure is crucial. But getting sun exposure is a necessity. At least 15 minutes without sunscreen, five days a week, is ideal.
Dermatologists will have their chance to lay into researchers at the University of Ediburgh, who's landmark study tosses the mantra on its ear when presented this week at the International Investigative Dermatology conference, the world's largest gathering of skin experts.
According to the researchers, exposing skin to sunlight may help to reduce blood pressure, cut the risk of heart attack and stroke - and even prolong life. They have found that when our skin is exposed to the sun's rays, a compound is released in our blood vessels that helps lower blood pressure.
"The findings suggest that exposure to sunlight improves health overall, because the benefits of reducing blood pressure far outweigh the risk of developing skin cancer. Heart disease and stroke linked to high blood pressure are estimated to lead to around 80 times more deaths than those from skin cancer."
