"Does it ever seem like everything you eat, touch or breathe might have some cancer-causing or unhealthy consequence? Scientific research is great, but sometimes it can be a little anxiety-causing, you know? Take this new study that&amp;#x27;s underway. The hypothesis: Sunscreen could cause cancer. Details... First we&amp;#x27;re told to slather our bods in sunscreen to protect ourselves from skin cancer. But wait, could that sunscreen be ... dangerous?! A group of scientists in Europe have been given a large grant to research whether the nanoparticles (code for tiny, molecule-sized ingredients) in sunscreen could cause brain damage related to Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s and Parkinson&amp;#x27;s diseases. Swell. Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;#x27;s style tip of the week and beauty tip of the day newsletters! While I don&amp;#x27;t want to discredit the research or poo-poo the concern about nanoparticles in any way (research does show reason to be concerned about nanotechnology and our health), don&amp;#x27;t hold your breath on this one, guys. Every single medical organization and health expert on this planet would advise you to continue using sunscreen daily and to have zero concerns about how your SPF affects your brain health, at least for now. Maybe just don&amp;#x27;t eat the stuff. Hugs! P.S. The connection between Coppertone and happiness, and how to find the perfect sunscreen for you.
