See my latest story for WebMD: Two Food and Drug Administration officials talk to me for WebMD on the recent agency decision to ask sunscreen makers to do further safety testing on chemicals in their products. This decision follows an agency-funded study that found the body absorbs sunscreen chemicals at a higher level than was previously known. Until the results are known, FDA officials say everyone should keep using sunscreen because the risks of skin cancer are higher than the unknown risks from sunscreen chemicals. See story here.
