The title of a congressional report last month said it all: "False and Misleading Health Information Provided to Teens by the Indoor Tanning Industry." The risk of melanoma jumps 75 percent for people who begin indoor tanning before the age of 30, and among people who've tanned 10 times or more by that age, the risk of a melanoma diagnosis is six times higher than for those who've never tanned inside, according to the report.
