A new study shows that UV radiation, even in the smallest amounts, prompts production of the “feel-good” hormone endorphin. These findings add to a field of research which includes extreme tanning as a possible addiction in humans. This could also explain why people love to sunbathe even when its clear that UV rays damage skin cells, age skin prematurely and cause skin cancer. Just like every addiction too much is bad for you.
