For those here for sunburn vs sunscreen in cancer prevention, he does not answer it in this video Lab range vit D 30-100ng/ml Considered deficient under 30ng/ml, however there is endless research that shows optimal range is 60-80ng/ml

A good article summarizing English studies on the effect of sun exposure is "Is Sunscreen the New Margerine." It concluded that much more sun exposure than is generally recommended has significant health benefits. The study conceded that more sun exposure results in more skin cancer, but decreased the chances of dying from it. The author also noted some studies concluded that Vitamin D taken in pill form seemed to be less beneficial than Vitamin D gained through sun exposure. He speculated that perhaps Vitamin D wasn't really the beneficial thing, but only a marker for sun exposure.

I read the article and the NO hypothesis is interesting but I’m far from convinced. A lot of D research is flawed because they don’t give people enough. They need to start establishing a vitamin D status based on bloodwork rather than offering some amount. I’d also be curious about controlling for exercise, pro social behavior, and other benefits of outdoor exposure see: nature bathing as well as circadian aspects of seasonal fluctuation. Dr. Weller claims sunscreen is capable of blocking the harmful effects of UV and allowing the good, but I haven’t been able to see any details. It seems odd to me that that is possible. And regardless of all this, could the NO benefits still be replicated with a supplement like l-citrulline without the need for skin-damaging sun exposure?

@HendersonHinchfinch 6 ай бұрын

Thats an odd conclusion they came to. Vitamin D is a crucial hormone for humans that regulates so many processes in the body. It is synthesized by the sun, but to say the benefits are more directly from sun exposure than vitamin D is a bit ignorant, no offense to the author

Note that only about 9,000 people die each year in the US from skin cancer (compare hundreds of thousands from heart disease or cancer), and much of that is due to serious sunburns decades in the past. Seems likely that careful sun exposure along with annual dermatologist checkups will do more good than harm. Look into the benefits of red light and other visible frequencies.

Interesting comments. I recently heard about wearing sunglasses or not influenced how your body responds to the sunlight. The premise was unshielded eyes get signals from the sun and the body protects the skin from a burn and aids in vitamin d conversion.

Peter, just to correct your reasoning about microwaves: Microwave oven is not harmless because the wavelength is longer than visible light, but because microwave oven is shielded, so the radiation do not escape it. You wouldn't want to stand next to unshielded 1000W microwave emitter same way as you stand next to your microwave (just as you don't want to look at 1000W visible light LED).

Light v Sound. Hearing around corners is due to the multi-directional Propagation of Sound by Molecular Collision. Sound doesn't travel through Vacuums. Nothing to do with Wavelength difference v Light (which does travels through vacuums as a packet of energy .. Photons).

@bobbybrown1258 5 ай бұрын

Yes it does..it's diffraction and everything to do with the wavelength. The wavelength of audible sounds match the gaps that are around is in every day life and therefore diffract readily and spread out. We can get light to diffract by passing it through very small gaps, no matter that it is a wave that does not need a material to propogate. Equally we can get sound to travel in relatively straight lines by making it quite high frequency . Source, physics teacher

Its basically reduced to weigh your odds of vitamin D vs skin cancer. But Medcram’s video + many others have shown that vitamin D supplementation does not replace the benefits of healthy sun exposure

The medical consensus is melanin levels determines how much you tan/burn with sun exposure. However, as a northern European i used to burn easily when i consumed a plant based diet, high in seed oils in my 20s. Now in the last 8 years, since turning meat based with zero seed oils and only animal sourced fats I don't burn. Living in Toronto i always have to start with a fresh tan each year.

The fact is that if you re in a space where you can see clearly, its bright enough, and that brightness isnt coming from manmade light or fire then your skin is aging all the time since sun. If if you sit in your home all your life but sunlight is getting to the house you will age faster unless you use high enough SPF every single day when there is sun meaning in very north or south there is barely any sunlight at winter and then sunscreen is not needed. Also clouds dont prevent you getting older unless clouds are so dark that its almost night dark which barely ever happens. All in all remember this: If its bright enough by sunlight to see well any part that is not protected by clothes or sunscreen will age faster, starting at the day you were born.

Highest skin cancer rates are in countries of light skin people aka european and american. But exposure is least amount because of winter. 3.

You don't sound old enough to remember life before sunscreen. It wasn't pretty. If people lived long enough and didn't die of infectious disease or cardiac issues, they had chunks (yes, chunks) of their skin removed due to skin cancer. I treated elderly people in the 1980's who had partial noses. Sometimes it was melanoma and they would die. Not always. And these were folks who ate real food most of their life, because processed food did not exist in the 1920's and 30's when they were young.

On soundwaves: Light waves are electromagnetic waves that travel through a vacuum at the speed of light. They do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, are mechanical waves that require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel. Sound waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium they travel through. They're fundamentally different, way beyond their wavelength. That's also why you can "hear around corners". I love your videos, but here you lost me a bit.

@DawnRK3204 6 ай бұрын

The first skin cancer I ever got was on my lower back. The only time that area had ever been exposed to UV light was when I was a pre-teen and teenager, but specifically I had one sunburn that was so bad I ended up with blisters on my back. By the time I was 18, I had stopped wearing a bathing suit and stopped doing things like waterskiing. I now help my husband with landscaping, and while I don’t fear the sun, I respect that if I don’t wear sunscreen, I will burn terribly. I’m very pale with red hair genes. I think it’s a different matter entirely when your job depends on being in the sun. These days, quite frankly. Unless your job is outside or you practice something like long-distance running, the majority of your hours are spent inside a building. I am an example of a person who didn’t practice sunbathing consistently, and after I turned 18, I was much more determined with my sunscreen application, and I’m routinely pegged for being ten years younger than my actual age of 52. Friends of mine who did sunbathe have very wrinkled skin now.

I live in the Caribbean. In order to get wrinkles or damage your skin, you have to daily be exposed to the sun for hours. People at risk are the ones that work outside, like construction workers, police, etc. But getting 10-20min of sun exposure 3 or 4 times per week will not cause damage to your skin. If you wanna be extra careful (specially in the tropics), avoid the sun at peak hours (10am to 3pm). Before 10am and after 3pm you will be fine. And if you are extra pale, take it at 8am or after 5pm (the UV index has to be below 3; check it in your Iphone in the weather app)
