Excerpt:

A new association standing for owners of suntanning salons says it wishes to dispel myths and misinformation about moderate exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, much of which it says is kept by healthcare carriers. The American Suntanning Association (ASA), which announced its buildup on Dec. 18, has 1,400 members standing for owners of 14,000 sunbed salons in the U.S. The membership's primary concern centers on what the group says is flawed study that has actually deceived the general public about the benefits of moderate UV exposure. Read this story on www.medpagetoday.com. Extensively pointed out studies have actually included home-based tanning beds and cosmetic and medical use of UV treatment, "which often involves intentional sunburn-- sometimes even blistering sunburn," according to a declaration from the ASA. After eliminating those clients from analyses, "the risk connected to professional salons virtually disappears.".

0"It is time to have a higher-level discussion about UV light from the sun and from sunbeds," said ASA board president Bart Bonn, owner of an Omaha, Neb.-based group of tanning salons. "The ASA is going to be a constructive party in that discussion, demanding a consumer-first conversation differentiating proper sun care from blatant overstatements about the risks of UV exposure."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
