Trust Me on the Sunscreen?

As someone who spends a considerable amount of time outdoors and has freakish cycling tan lines on his arms and legs, this caught my eye.

WASHINGTON (May 24) -- Almost half of the 500 most popular sunscreen products may actually increase the speed at which malignant cells develop and spread skin cancer because they contain vitamin A or its derivatives, according to an evaluation of those products released today.

AOL News also has learned through documents and interviews that the Food and Drug Administration has known of the potential danger for as long as a decade without alerting the public, which the FDA denies.

Sunscreen or no sunscreen? I've been ambivalent about using it for the last couple of years, and this adds another layer of skepticism to the mix.
