RFK Jr. clears path for minors' use of tanning beds, much to the dismay of dermatologists
"Kennedy's withdrawal of the proposed FDA rule would have required minors to acknowledge the risks of indoor tanning, which dermatologists warn can lead to significant health issues."
"The Skin Cancer Foundation states that there is no such thing as a 'solar callus,' and frequent sun exposure can lead to cumulative damage and increased skin cancer risk."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pledged to eliminate the FDA's restrictions on alternative therapies, including raw milk and psychedelics. His recent withdrawal of a proposed ban on indoor tanning for minors has raised concerns among dermatologists. Many in his movement advocate for regular sun exposure, promoting the idea of building a 'solar callus.' Dermatologists warn against this trend, emphasizing the long-term risks of skin damage and cancer from both natural sunlight and indoor tanning lamps, which emit harmful UV rays.
