Look how quickly the media has fallen off this. Media/audience (not sure how this circular logic goes) has such a short attention span. But yo who’s paying attention anymore? Look how short this story is too! Womp wooomp! People are silly, and they frustrate me doh.
Confused by Sky-High SPFs? Take a Number
The difference in UVB protection between an SPF 100 and SPF 50 is marginal. Far from offering double the blockage, SPF 100 blocks 99 percent of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks 98 percent. (SPF 30, that old-timer, holds its own, deflecting 96.7 percent).
Oh marketing! How undone you make things!
Consumers should worry more about wearing enough sunscreen, several doctors said, rather than how high their SPF is.
Skimp and you lose. To get the SPF advertised, you must use a full shot glass on your body. That’s an ounce, which means a three-ounce tube should last, at most, a few outings.
Ohhh.. I only sunscreen my face. I wonder?
“It turns out that if you apply half the amount, you get the protection of only the square root of the SPF,” said Dr. Darrell S. Rigel, a clinical professor of dermatology at New York University, who has done efficacy testing for Johnson & Johnson and the Procter & Gamble Company.
So applying a half-ounce of SPF 70 will not give you the protection of SPF 35, but 8.4, Dr. Rigel said.
Or, “the higher the SPF, the more rapidly the protection falls off with under-application,” said Dr. Gilchrest, who consults for Schering-Plough Corporation, which makes Coppertone.
Eee!
A great op-ed piece that puts feelings I have had into words more brilliant than my angry tirades. I am so glad that someone has articulated and advocated greater awareness of the tragedies that are overlooked by our greedy media conglomerates.
It’s a searing double-standard that tells us volumes about the ways in which we view one another, and whose lives are considered to have value in this society and whose are not. Another disturbing aspect of the coverage is the extreme prurient interest that drives it. The press goes wild over stories about murderous attacks on women who are young, attractive and white.
All I can say: OMIFGAH I AGREE
I’d like to see more coverage, not less, of murderous violence in the U.S. But I’d like that coverage to be much broader, more meaningful and less sensationalized.
Once again: CAN’T.. AGREE.. MORE
Surely the slaughter of dozens of Chicago schoolchildren is worthy of wide national coverage. CNN has covered the story, but there has been precious little coverage elsewhere.
I read the article just last week (Minority youngsters dying weekly on Chicago’s streets). I was so appalled by my complete ignorance of the ridiculously high murder rate among one city’s teen population.
