But a new report shows that -- on now that golden glow.

Well they say it may not be risk free after all -- -- This is supposed to be -- -- -- Of what happened.

Look at it's it's summertime and have -- wants to have this kind of -- and getting to their bathing suit.

We talk about the tanning Booth in the fact that he can increase the risk of honesty cancer you're right everyone thought that this is -- these days.

-- the issue is that the main component of this spring is something called PH a which is -- hydroxy acetone.

And when you spray you can actually Hal and it becomes personalized gets into your long and he can get into the bloodstream.

And that causes some of the genetic mutations and birth defects.

They can also cause lung cancer but before we getting panic zone -- -- just say that these studies.

Are mostly in their labs are -- -- you imperiled ten studies that they've looked at so I would not really be you know pat thinking about this if you do this once or twice a year.

Probably you're okay.

If you do this on a regular basis and unfortunately Hollywood is pushing this and you have a -- dashes and Paris Hilton everyone is having to teenagers and it's okay to do it.

You know they're not pushing the nose plugs so we can -- -- your eyes looking giving him -- thinking getting your nose where does it go after that goes in your -- And since studies are now showing that it can -- DNA.

We don't know -- -- you know what the real extent that this can cause cancer to we don't know haven't we don't know my.

-- my recommendation is because people tend to use this instead of sun screen.

My recommendation is to stay away from this altogether but as David said if you're going to use it.

One its use because I think the current preparations it's almost impossible not to get it in your lungs and from your longs into your bloodstream I don't think it's it.

I don't think it's that unsafe I think the -- to the the -- -- to use the tanning salons or worse but this isn't the greatest thing joining.

You know that's the bottom -- and these tanning salons are not going to have you where it is.

Goggles because you're gonna start looking like Cramer with the way that you have -- everywhere and that it's and I say there's a war there's there's a warning.
