We chose to research sunbeds as it is a very controversial topic. we found a page called sunbedsassociation.org. At first the website seemed rather genuine, there were many facts and it was even updated very recently (october 6 2011) all the laws and numerous amount of information seemed excellent and the website does look appealing. However on further inspection all the information and even the statistics about sunbeds given were from a source called The sunbed association... themselves. We then used site: to look into the site further and found that the website is extremelly biased and actually encouraged sunbed use claming it is the only way to get vitamin D and without this the website scares people by listing all the things that could go wrong without vitamin D. The website may look good, and on a whole is a good website, it has contact details and links, everything you would want from a good webpage, except all their information is false and one sided, and doesnt inform the reader of the risks of sunbeds such as cancer, something many adults and especially children should know.
