 Sunscreen is important anywhere, but especially here in the Valley with its 300 plus days of sunshine every year. But the kind of sunscreen available to consumers in the U.S. is apparently not as effective as that in other parts of the world. Michael Scaturo has written about this. He's a journalist based in Atlanta where he reports on health care issues for Kaiser Health News and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I spoke with him earlier and asked what the differences are between the sunscreens one can buy in the U.S. and those that one can buy elsewhere.
