God created the sun, vitamin D, and humans who need vitamin D.
Now we have conflicting studies that the sun is both good and bad for you.
I hate being sunburned. I do sunscreen and then take vitamin D3 supplements. *knock wood*
Sunscreen deniers. Settled science. The debate is over!
I am of Scottish, German, English heritage. I burn in December walking to the car. What to do?
Last I heard, the Death Rate was holding steady at 100%.
Sunshine is good for you. It contains Vitamin D.
Too much exposure to the sun is bad for you.
It is that simple.
Now give me the taxpayer money that the government is wasting on all these studies.
My wife took our son in for a 1 month checkup and the dr said he had to mention the necessity for vitamin D supplements for children, some new guideline.
My wife asked him - “can’t I just take him out in the sun for a little bit to take care of that?”
The Dr said “that’s why I like you as a patient”.
He has to deal with a bunch of... well, Obama voters, “si, se puede!” types that have no baseline of common sense or education.
My grandsons, 12 and 9, stayed with me this week end. We had a great time until their Father came to pick them up. The 12 year had a slightly pink face. My son asked if they had used sunscreen while in the pool. They had but they hadn’t reapplied it every 45 minutes. I didn’t know they had to. My son left the house still criticizing me and telling me I could never watch the kids again. That’s all I can think about, did I hurt my grandchild because I was stupid?
I like to get out and get some sun when I can because I am confined to an office all week. I like to tan some, but not bake. I will continue to use 15 - 30 sunscreen because I hate to be sunburned - it is uncomfortable and it peels.
This thread is useless without pictures.
I lmao everytime I see helicopter moms trying to con others into whitewashing their spawn like Tom Sawyer.
Get some sun, but don’t overdo it. Revolutionary stuff.
Live in western Colorado high desert environment (4600’ ASL) so much sunny weather you actually look forward to overcast days. Bottom line I use SPF 15 nearly everyday and in the winter when skiing SPF 30. Sun screen in my environment is your friend.
We only do sunblock when we’re going to be in the sun for an extended period. We use Jason or Kiss My Face sunblock, as it has fewer ingredients and no parabens. The kids’ jungle gym is under a tree, so we go without sunblock most of the day. They’re in and out of the shade but have never burned.
NYT article in question:
I know a guy running sun tanning salons and he tells me people screw up and get burned and cancer happens quite frequently.
Also little kids who get burned supposedly tend to be cancer prone later in life.
The Sun isn’t to blame for skin cancer.
For that you need to blame high intake of polyunsaturated oils and fats in the diet that suppress immunity to the cells of your body.
I bet lots of sunscreen products contain them as well.
Who in the world sunbathes ever day??
Welfare state??
