<<I love GNC!!! >>

Back in the 70s a fellow who read the Rodale health magazine recommended PABA so I wouldn't get sunburned going to Canada fishing. I went to GNC and bought a big bottle of PABA pills and gobbled them like candy. I didn't have any sunburn even being in a boat all day.

The next year all the sunscreens were touting being PABA free. I was talking to a skin doctor and asked why the PABA free was a big deal. He told me that PABA, even when used as a skin cream caused liver cancer. I told him about buying the pills at GNC and he said they were never legal to sell in the US. I was forced to drink great quantities of whiskey to flush my liver of the PABA.
