A New Kind of "Fake Tan"

Scientists are working on a way to prevent people from using a tanning bed. No, it's not changing the culture to have people not worry about being tan. Instead, they're using a plant derivative called forskolin. Forskolin will cause the body to tan which provides greater protection from the sun. The scientists claim that their aim is to reduce melanoma. These scientists are working on a cream, but others have done human tests with injections. Perhaps they should switch to jellyfish?
