'Off-grid' parents stop kids using sun lotion and claim cancer from sun is a myth

A pair of 'alternative' parents say they will not use sun lotion on their young children, claiming cancer caused by the sun is a myth. Adele and Matt Allen believe that it's 'carcinogens' in the cream itself that is the real danger.

The couple, from Brighton, follow an 'off-grid' lifestyle and run their own YouTube channel The Unconventional Parent. Adele and Matt, who have three children, Ulysses, nine, Ostara, five, and baby Kai, previously caused controversy for saying they let all three children co-sleep with them, allow them to decide what they want to eat and have no fixed bedtime.

They have previously slammed the NHS for citing coronavirus as a cause of death. Speaking to The Sun, Adele said: "A lot of people believe the myth that the sun gives you the big C. But in reality, the sunscreen that most people use contains carcinogens so if anything, it's the sun creams that are causing the problems and dehydration."
