Ive heard a lot of people on the internet say sunscreen is bad for you. Never seen the data. Gonna go search for it now but if you have data I'd appreciate it!

Check out the POMC gene. It’s stimulated by UV light. The POMC gene manufactures dopamine, melatonin, and beta-endorphins, among other things — POMC is only stimulated by UV light (or Ozempic). I just started asking the question- if the sun is dangerous, then why do we have all these things in our skin (and eye) that respond so positively to it?

Thanks Ill check that out. To clarify, Im not asking about sunlight, just sunscreen.

Doesn’t sunscreen block sunlight?

Corey Santa Diego 4mo ago

No. If it did, Im asking about periodic use to prevent burn, not bathing in it 24/7.

Even water has a lethal dose. Just because something is good and necessary for life doesn’t mean no amount or exposure can be harmful.

Exactly, "the dose makes the poison."
