I wasn't able to watch the video because I'm on my phone, it wouldn't play. But I did scan the list and I have to completely disagree with the bit about skipping sunscreen to soak up vitamin D. That is absolutely unnecessary. You should never skip sunscreen for any reason. If you don't get cancer from a sunscreen product you will definitely increase your chances of getting it from the rays of the sun. There are plenty of other viable sources to get vitamin d from, we no longer need to rely solely on the sun. So please, do not skip sunscreen.

Also, parabens have not been proven to cause cancer. They get a bad rap for something they haven't even been proven to cause. And most of those things listed would have to be in extremely high concentrations to cause much damage. I'm not saying all of these chemicals are necessarily "good" but not all of them are quite as harmful as we are lead to believe, especially in the small concentrations they are usually added in. Deodorants have not been proven to cause breast cancer either. Formaldehyde is actually produced by the body as well, in small amounts. And the FDA does regulate these things, which is why they are added in miniscule amounts. They are not allowed to just dump mass amounts of these things into makeup. I'm not trying to discredit anyone here but this article does make me question it's credibility, especially after the remark about skipping sunscreen to get vitamin d. That really puts me off, sorry, I'm not trying to be mean. We should definitely be cautious of what goes in and on our body but I feel like this article is kind of blowing it out of proportion and trying to incite fear at some points actually. That's just my take on it though.
