#[2]​ is it possible that this is too broad of an article on sun ☀️ to understand the sun and it’s affects, the writer could read abt the hormones of the body and how sunlight may affect it (the article points out some good things, not all sunlight is bad so vitamin d deficiency can be declined with sunlight making you happier).

The article generalizes everyone into one category when in reality all of our bodies are different. Not everyone can get basal and squamous cell carcinoma ( sun related) but some do, one of my mentors had it before he passed away. The sun related fact of this is that the writer of this article is not familiar of the type of cells that sun damages- keratinocytes. “Keratinocytes are the skin cells responsible for protecting from microbial invasion, shielding UV exposure, and maintaining adequate skin hydration by secreting keratin, a protein that is a primary component of the stratum corneum—he outermost layer of skin” not everyone has the same production of melanocytes. As far as keratinocytes 54 functional keratin genes, 27 of which are type I keratins and 27 of which are type II keratins. Many people suffer from genetic disorders which can be absorbed in several ways I mentioned and cause mutations.

As a rule of thumb, the way I see it, any study that uses 2004, or older than 10 years of research is bogus (usually alternative medicine). Just saying, also btw thanks for bringing science this platform.
