Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- An investigation into tanning salons finds many lie about the health risks of indoor bronzing.
Posing as fair-skinned teenagers, they contacted 300 indoor tanning salons throughout the country.
Ninety-percent told the girls that indoor tanning did not pose health risks.
More than half the salons denied that face sun increases the risk of skin cancer. Many described such statements as rumor or hype. And more than three quarters said indoor tanning is healthy for teen girls, that the intense UV rays treat depression, induce vitamin D production and help with weight loss.
