“Many psychologists assumed such [naked] exposure would be detrimental to children, and could even constitute subtle forms of sexual abuse.  Yet more recent evidence has challenged this assumption.  An 18-year study followed children from birth until adolescence and tracked rates of exposure to parental nudity.  Abramson, who co-authored an analysis of the data, concluded there was no evidence of harm associated with the exposure. . . Instead, Abramson’s and other studies have generally found nudity to be associated with beneficial outcomes, including increased self-esteem, sexual knowledge, and comfort with physical contact and affection.  Exposure to nudity in the home was also associated with lower rates of theft and drug use in adolescence as well as improved relations with adults outside of the family.” – Peter Lollo, https://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2013/02/22/the-science-of-nudity-the-skinny-on-showing-skin/

“Female stars are going commando on the red carpet and flashing their privates on purpose in the latest fashion fad.  And I think it’s marvelous.” – Kerry Parnell, http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/rendezview/dear-female-stars-please-put-some-clothes-on/news-story/3b9c36c8b3fe2926f1f61cb8f0492eac?utm_content=SocialFlow&utm_campaign=EditorialSF&utm_source=AdelaideAdvertiser&utm_medium=Facebook

“When you’re naked, you see all of you.  There are no clothes to cover up those imperfections you dwell on, or towel to shy you away from the mirror.  Great!  Take a good look and get to know the real you.  All of you. . . Appreciate your flaws and imperfections that make you who you are.  No one is perfect and no one has a perfect figure.  When you get to know who you are and start to appreciate it, you will be able to get over that annoying stigma that a woman is supposed to look like a Barbie doll.” – Rissa, http://www.thetalko.com/12-reasons-why-you-should-be-naked-more-often/

“Melanoma is the most-deadly form of skin cancer. . . [cases] have been on the rise in the United States for years. . . scientists have discovered a new drug that can stop metastasis of the disease, that is, the development of melanoma cells elsewhere in the body — by as much as 90 percent. . . The potential drug, known as CCG-203971 . . . there were an estimated 76,000 new melanoma cases diagnosed in the U.S. in 2016, and more than 10,000 people were expected to die of the disease last year.  Unfortunately, the rates of melanoma have been rising across the nation, and it’s currently one of the most common cancers among young women.” – Korin Miller, https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/scientists-discover-new-drug-that-stops-the-spread-of-90-of-melanoma-cells-130059328.html
