another thing to think about- especially thosse who have had sun poisoning- the consumpption of artificial sweeteners has been associate with increased sun sensitivity.

I do know that in the case of my daughter and myself it is absolutely the case which is why I have learned to drink lemon water and black coffee and avoid all pre sweetened foods. My daughter drinks something with artifical sweetner, goes out in the sun and ends up with a red and white splotchy wash after 15 minutes.

Just a thought, since artificial sweetners are in everything.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't worry about sunscreen but another factor to consider.
