>>10815179Now look up the UV blocking effects of a sufficient amount of melanin, you brainlet, which is accrued with cumulative moderate sun-exposure. It has very similar UV blocking effects. Mutanogensis only occurs with burning
>The fact that UV rays are harmful and directly cause cancer and aging is irrefutable. Where is your evidence? This is only demonstrated with direct burning. These monographs you listed are a series of literature reviews, poor ones, paired with UV rated protections for various sunscreens.
>Sunscreen helps prevent this beyond a shadow of a doubt. No kidding it insofar as it blocks harmful burns (a tan is not a burn) but so does melanin pigmentation which is more than sufficient with cumulative exposure for virtually all mainland Europeans, a majority of nords even. Only redheads, very fair blue-eyed, light blond with freckled skin (say Estonians, Finnish) would need this extreme protection. This protection itself is not harmless, often predisposes the regular wearer to extreme burns when without it because he has no baseline level of protect and Vitamin D deprivation. Moreover, the agents used, especially non-mineral, can be toxic to the kidneys and brain.
>Saying anything else is beyond being a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.False dilemma and guilt by association. Very low IQ.
>>10815275Norway gets comparatively little yet has very high rates of melanoma per capita. This is because of intermittent exposure and sudden burning, often worsened because someone was led to believe any sun exposure was harmful, wore an excessive amount of the stuff, and one day was caught with out it.
Moderate sun exposure and having a healthy baseline amount of melanin not only protects against burns but is healthy for the individual. The photosynthesis of Vitamin D reduces cholesterol. Sun exposure raises testosterone. There numerous other photocatalyzed reactions, products of evolving under the sun. Sun, in moderation, is good.
