While I was checking my MSN mail, I came across one of the most recent health news (which is why I didn't know where to put this...health...news...health...news...) Anyway, it was about what makes our brown eyes blue. I found it to be quite interesting. Suppoisvely, we all had brown eyes about (insert 5678768 years here). Its a maternal gene.

QUOTE(doughnut @ Feb 1 2008, 02:17 AM)  darker skinned people don't get as much skin cancer too, i think. Actually, no. People believe that darker skin protects them from skin cancer, but that's not necessarily true. It's just that on lighter skin, sun-burns, rashes, etc. are much more apparent. It's recommended that everyone wear some sort of sunscreen to protect against the sun's (UVA & UVB) rays. This does not include those who are sensitive to the sun or albinos, since that would include a skin condition, in which case effects are much more server. |

This does not include those who are sensitive to the sun or albinos, since that would include a skin condition, in which case effects are much more server. people with darker skin have more pigments. and pigments protect the uva/uvb rays from getting to the cells underneath. white people have less pigments thus causging the rays to get to the cells when exposed and potentially turning the good cell into a bad cell and leading to skin cancer. |
