(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 13, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- While the FDA is proposing enacting tighter regulations on tanning beds, a Yale School of Public Health email has been released stating that there is a link between the act of indoor tanning and skin cancer. Yet, for whatever reason, there are still many dermatologists who will stand steadfast next to their advocacy of the potential benefits of UVA-exposure.
There has been a team of researchers that include senior lecturer in dermatology at the University of Edinburgh, who put 18 volunteers under tanning lamps. They did so twice, exposing them to UVA rays one time and simply warm lights the second time.
Participants' heart rates rose slightly when they were exposed to UVA radiation, while over an hour after being exposed to the tanning booth, they were shown to have what was described as a significant decrease in blood pressure. The effect was driven a decrease in diastolic blood pressure of nearly 5 mmHG, while systolic blood pressure was unaffected in the process. The effects which are said to be attributable to the positive effects in circulation, help reduce the levels of nitrates in the skin, according to the researchers.
Blood tests also showed that the participants vitamin D levels were at a constant, lending to the idea it was not the cause for the change.
Dermatologists involved in the research reasoned that given heart disease and stroke are more prevalent than skin cancer as a cause of death, there is actually purpose to exposing one's self to the potential of the latter to avoid the former. Researchers point out that sunlight is a better option than UVA-tanning light, while both have a positive effect.
