RE: This new armchair doc about the sun making the rounds

Yes, "limited" sun exposure is important. Anything taken to an extreme will eventually break.

Talk to people living in Queensland, AU, the "skin cancer capital of the world" about the dangers of unprotected UV sun exposure.

Skin types are a thing. People with less natural sun protection (melanin) are more succeptible to skin cancers.

People have said that, but it's not true.

Here's a great article:
