WHO: Tanning Beds are "Carcinogenic"

The International Agency for Research on Cancer, a part of the World Health Organization, has moved tanning beds up to the highest cancer risk category--"carcinogenic" to humans.  Tanning beds were previously classified as "probably carcinogenic" to humans. 

The classification came after researchers discovered using a tanning bed before age 30 increases one's risk of melanoma by 75%.
