Avoiding sunlight is as risky as smoking

from Foodnourish Deep Dives · host Pavlos Giorkas

In today's episode we're uncovering the startling reality behind decades of sun-safety advice.While we have been told to treat the sun like poison, evidence suggests sunlight is actually a biological necessity for human health. We explore research showing that avoiding the sun can be as risky as smoking, with sun avoiders facing significantly higher overall mortality rates. We also dive into the business of dermatology, examining how the industry rebranded itself to fuel a profitable fear campaign. Learn the crucial differences between skin cancer types and why the general "skin cancer" label is often used to mislead the public.=== REFERENCES ===https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/what-happens-when-you-protect-yourhttps://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dermatologys-crusade-against-the=== Support our work.
