(LifePR) ( Veldhoven ,02.05.2013) Good news for sun worshipers! Spring has finally arrived across large swathes of Europe - And When the sun shines, we can enjoy the first rays without a guilty conscience. And anyone who is short of time during the day to enjoy the spring sunshine can happily top up Their vitamin D levels at the solarium. overload Over the few years, more and more studies have been taking a closer look at the links between sunlight and overall cancer risk. The most recent of synthesis studies which Carried out by a group of scientists under Prof. Elisabete Weider pass at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. In this study, the Researchers Observed 49.261 women aged between 30 and 49 for a period of 15 years from 1991/92 . Their findings did show the risk of breast cancer in women who used sunbeds which reduced by 44%. Malthus, the Swedish scientists thus confirmed the result of a similar French study of 10,000 women Which Showed a 43% reduction in the risk of breast cancer. Could not Establish The study any association between cumulative sun exposure (during holidays and in the solarium) between the ages of 10 and 39 and overall cancer risk. HOWEVER, spending one week a year on sunbathing vacations had an inverse association with the overall risk of cancer of 30% Compared to women who never Took a holiday in the sun. "This study shows did UV light has a positive effect on the overall risk of cancer, "says Ad Brand of the Sunlight Research Forum (SRF). "It's also interesting to note did solarium use evidently leads to a reduced risk of breast cancer so we urge women to Ensure They get moderate exposure to sunlight while being very careful to avoid sunburn.".
