But I thought<br />that this was both true and misleading because different distillation processes produce different mixes of ethanol,methanol etc. So I would think it very likely<br />that booze can give different hangovers (and I know they do). Clearly this Doctor has not the same experience of drinking that I have. So, in a sense this is similar <br />to UVA because sun beds do not (I think) produce the same mix as sunlight. However,clearly, UVA is UVA and UVB is UVB no matter the source. But this did remind me of a representative<br />of a very well known UK cancer charity being asked on channel four news as to what can be done in the fight against cancer. He just said that we should<br />remove VAT on NRT and encourage more people to use sun block; so not a lot really.Fredrik Eichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-29303131834189198252010-04-20T13:21:50.082+01:002010-04-20T13:21:50.082+01:00We evolved under the sun.

Standing within a couple of hundred meters of the currently erupting volcano has more appeal than standing in the same room as these morons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
