Mainstream Sun Advice CAUSES Skin Cancer!?

Melanoma cases have been on the rise recently. From 2009 to 2019, the number of new skin cancer cases skyrocketed by 40 percent!

How this is even possible when folks so diligently follow the mainstream’s advice to avoid the sun and slather on sunscreen during the little time they spend outdoors?

Well, brace yourself for some disturbing news.

It’s because everything the mainstream tells you about how to avoid melanoma is WRONG.

In fact, this was proven yet again by a study showing how the sun can actually protect you from skin cancer.

In a study published in Melanoma Research, researchers focused on nearly 500 people to determine the impact that supplementing with vitamin D would have on skin cancer.

It turns out that those regularly taking vitamin D were significantly less likely to develop skin cancer—or any cancer—compared to those not increasing their D levels.

In fact, their risk of developing skin cancer was cut in HALF.

In short, higher vitamin D levels = lower risk of skin cancer.

And your body’s BEST source of vitamin D is the sun.

This means that rather than CAUSING skin cancer, the sun has a built-in mechanism to help protect AGAINST it!

That’s because vitamin D protects your skin from UV radiation that can damage your DNA and increase your risk of skin cancer.

Studies also consistently show that the farther you get from the equator (where the sun is weaker and vitamin D levels tend to be lower), the greater the incidence of melanoma.

So, the bottom line is vitamin D protects against skin cancer, and again, your body’s best vitamin D source is the sun.

Ideally, a good daily dose of sunshine will do the trick. I’d aim for 15-30 minutes of sunlight during the middle of the day—from about 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.—when the UVB rays are the strongest.

You can also download the “D Minder” app for your smartphone to pinpoint the optimal time to get your shot of skin-cancer-fighting sunlight where you live.

If you can’t get adequate vitamin D levels from being outdoors, only then would I recommend taking a supplement.
