Less sun exposure correlates to more skin cancer.  The deadliest form is malignant melanoma often seen on areas of the body not exposed to sunlight, i.e. soles of feet, backs of knees, underarms.  #1 cause of melanoma?  Diets high in sugar & carbohydrates, and low in saturated animal fats.

And sunblocker with all the unknown chemical ingredients also cause it.


I’ve always wondered about this. All I know, is that I feel and look healthier with a little sun.


I was in tropical country for many years, i've never heard or be warned about skin cancer there, most people have other types of cancer.

Now i'm in europe, having a treatment for a inflammatory disease, they warn me to have my skin checked but doesn't tell me why. I made my own research on my treatment side effects: skin cancer, blood cancer...


milk and sun good


All use chemicals blockers.  For thousands of years humans use cold pressed oil or aloe vera, vegetal & animal fats for hydrating the skin


What's wrong with Croatia/Slovenia? They get plenty of sun but image show higher rates than IE. Poland? Diet?


I don't like this. This is disturbing.


Are you saying they lied to us? Surely you jest


Should be the sugar 🤣


In the south we have an other way to deal with sun than people in the north.

And always the causes for a cancer are multifactorial.
It's not just the sugar and potatoes.
And large exposure to sunlight in midday hours is bad for your skin, that's why you use sun cream. It's a fact 🔥
If you don't use it, it burns your skin, ask your mother, or even better...
Don't trust me, verify it 😜

And having your skin burnt should anything good for preventing cancer skin... but who knows!


Agreed.

The map also gives a hint about genetics. Less skin melanin means less UV light protection.


Probably genetics. Diet may have some impact also.


Do you have a source about the impact of diet?


I've noticed huge difference with sun exposure after dumping seed oils. Prior I thought I have some sort of sun allergy (with my pale skin getting all sorts of spots after 20 min in full sun).
Last two years I've been sitting in the sun for hours without any burns or spots. Also I've ditched sunglasses - when you block certain UV lights your body thinks it's night time so it doesn't adapt to sunlight the way it should.


I used to get these itchy hive-like bumps on my chest when out in the sun shirtless. I also thought I was "allergic to the sun" (though I'm not pale. Italian descent).
Now you're making me realize this didn't happen this summer, and this also happens to be the summer that I started avoiding seed oils...
I'm not ready to call that conclusive just yet, but it sure is an interesting correlation..


Agree with person

Sugars are not the issue in my mind.

Polyunsaturated fats may be the problem as they are easy to oxidise.

The more Polyunsaturated the fats the easier it damages with heat and light.

Olive oil has to be put in a dark tinted bottle to not have the fat damaged and it is mostly monounsaturated. Imagine an omega 3 Polyunsaturated from fish with many weak double bonds between carbon atoms.

The molecules in seed oils change with sunlight and heat.. that's how plants know when to germinate.

Don't be afraid to eat cards and saturated fat.

Maybe try reduce intake of Polyunsaturated oils


Yeah can you make a good point that the really dangerous melanoma is always show up on areas of skin that never see the sun. ￼


I wonder if this has more to do with genetic skin complexion than sun exposure. For example, I’m sure melanoma rates are very low in sub-Saharan Africa despite heavy sun exposure (although I haven’t seen data on it)


Sun ☀ and Sunny days make me happy, my mood and wellbeing is much better in Sunny places, especially near the 🌊🧜🏼♀☀🌹🐝

Source? Or was it revealed to you in a dream?


This can be explained by a few factors:

People in northern countries often have lighter skin, which is more susceptible to UV damage. Additionally, less frequent sun exposure can lead to riskier behavior, such as overexposure on sunny days or during vacations.

Despite the cooler climate, UV rays can still be strong in northern regions. Lastly, people in sunnier countries might be more conscious about sun protection, which helps reduce their risk of skin cancer.


Good info thanks


Because northern people should not go to Spain, Italy and Greece on vacations to grill in the sun!


Disagree. Study blue light! Dr. Jack Kruse is good source to research it


I'm a little skeptical of Kruse.  He's overweight,  does he walk his talk?..🤔


If we are to believe the first humans came from Africa and were dark-skinned it makes sense when we migrated to less sunny places, our skin lightened up to absorb the less frequent rays from the sun.  This is why black people who live in northern climates have higher incidences of disease and certain cancers.  Due to the high levels of melanin in their dark skin they cannot absorb the benefits of less sunshine.  Likewise, they are protected by their high melanin from the damage caused by UV light from the strong sun.  Fair-skinned people can adapt to the hot tropics by limiting sun exposure and gradually increasing it over time.  Seed oils have been a huge contributer to excessive sun burning whereas saturated animal fat is protective...


I've been observing this my entire life.  Skin cancers, all 3 types: squamous cell, basal cell and melanoma have been steadily rising due to the global increase in the consumption of seed oils, which weaken & destroy our cell membranes and structure.  Saturated animal fats and cholesterol are protective to our skin cells.  Having been 100% carnivore for 10 months now, my tolerance to the sun has greatly increased...


Genetics plays on average, a 5% role in all disease.  Skin cancers, especially the most deadly, melanoma, is diet related, or epigenetic...


Sources are too vast to list here but this is a good starting point to do your own research.  Dr. Thomas Seyfried is a scientist who has spent his career studying the relationship between diet and cancer.  By starving the body of all glucose, i.e. a zero carb carnivore diet, he is having tremendous success with the most difficult, aggressive, and traditionally terminal cancers..😉


Exactly!  Great observation..🥰

I agree that cancer is a complicated disease but it is 95% environmental, and it is epigentical rather than genetic.
Unfortunately sunblock creams are carcinogenic.  As a fair-skinned human it is best to limit direct sun exposure, cover up with hats & shirts, and of course adopt a more saturated fatty animal based diet and avoid seed oils.


I'm absolutely saying they lied to us!..🤥🤥🤥


The power is ALL within yourself to stay healthy!  Personal responsibility is the new counterculture...


Most likely diet, less probably genetics.


That's fantastic Alex!  Good on you..💜


Sugar is most definitely the culprit with polyunsaturated (omega 6) seeds oils also a major contributor.  Dr. Seyfried is the best cancer doctor out there today.  Research his cancer reversing protocols, they begin with a zero carb diet with a glutamine inhibitor drug...


...and just wait until you try a carnivore diet!..😯😎🥰


"Incidence rates in Europe are higher in the more affluent countries, compared to data from the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus and Serbia, although recent data show a rise in incidence in many East European countries"

More affluent countries don't
 have more sun, they have more junk food, sugar and seed oil..

"The incidence of malignant melanoma has been increasing worldwide, resulting in an important socio-economic problem. From being a rare cancer one century ago, the average lifetime risk for melanoma has now reached 1 in 50 in many Western populations.."

These stats perfectly coincide with the increase in junk food, sugar, and seed oil consumption.  The sun has remained the same.


Raw, unpasteurized milk.  You know, the milk the FDA will raid you at gun-point with if you try to sell it...


Systemic inflammation will completely disappear within weeks on a 100% carnivore diet..  Do your own experiment.  Try it out!🥰


Vitamin D3 is an essential hormone with many benefits from increased immunity to bone health to feelings of euphoria!..😎💛


people have been walking around in the Sun for a million years

skin cancer is caused by getting a sunburned a lot for sure but also by suntan lotion which is full of f****** chemicals that kill you


And Skandinavien and Eastern European countries are consuming great amounts of seed oil?


I tried few diets and fasting, it change nothing or was worse. But i didn't try 100% carnivore diet. I should give it a try but the results may be skewed with my treatment.
I have a inflammatory disease: Ankylosing spondylitis, it's cause by genetic plus immune dysfunction. The inflammation attack healthy joints & bones


Wow, thanks for all the data!
The most western diet countries also show the highest incidence of skin cancer..


An appreciation for the link between diet, obesity/metabolic and cancers is growing, but don’t disregard the contribution of sun exposure. It’s not a simple issue of where the sun lands on the earth, different areas have people with different fairness of skin, genetic backgrounds, sun exposure behaviors and medical screening. UV damaged induced cancer is one of the most well understood causes of melanoma.


What is even more ironic, is that  Vit D deficiency is a common theme in AZ, and yet we can not escape the sun. 🤔


I noted this again at the pub while trying to clarify my list, and added a conversation I had with AI after about sunscreen, where it consistently recommended its use, but ultimately acknowledged its own potential bias."

https://primal.net/e/note12rz0f9jv8wvgjwr4setyshl5feukmazxh2eke0956h64gcewm5jslecah4


i'm gonna see if ai can add that to the already list. brb 😄


That view has been round for over a decade now - The idea being that cancer can't grow with out glutamine and glucose. This is why fasting has a similar effect on the slowing of some cancer growth.

Otto warrburg (the goat) discovered the dysfunction in the mitochondria across all cancers where they were unable to perform properly cellular respiration (burn glucose with oxygen) and instead used glycolysis (fermenting the sugar and producing lactate)

What started the dysfunction in the first place?
Generally the cell being damaged or better to think of its inability to withstand damage or irritation.

The correlation between high polyunsaturated fat consumption and increase cancer risk is real. Sugar is a decoy.

If your cells structure is that of weak carbon chains (the double bonds which aren't saturated with hydrogen I.e unsaturated) they will be much more prone to damage.

Compare Fats in  coconut oil vs olice oil
Saturated vs monounsatured

Compare fats in a cow vs a fish.
Saturated vs polyunsaturated.
Which of these examples can sit in the sun or in an open jar at room temperature.

Don't fall for the anti sugar hype. Sugar fructose, glucose, lactose and it's combinations are utilised incredibly well in a cells generation of ATP ( body's energy). It's a complex mechanism that we developed over our creation.

The consumption of polyunsaturated fats other then the milligrams found in a few veggies we ate, has exponentially increased.

Never have humans been exposed these levels through history. Even as careful diner your intake would be 50 times that of your ancestors.

The whole point of Vitamin E is prevent the peroxidation of unsaturated fats.

The whole point of niacinamide is to help in the atp creation from glucose (sugar)

Both now used in skin repair and protection.

Sugar is not your enemy. Never was

Eat fruit, beef and lamb and go enjoy the sun.

Tropical fruits are best 👌

Less sun exposure correlates to more skin cancer.  The deadliest form is malignant melanoma often seen on areas of the body not exposed to sunlight, i.e. soles of feet, backs of knees, underarms.  #1 cause of melanoma?  Diets high in sugar & carbohydrates, and low in saturated animal fats.
Moo!.. 🐮 🩶


Sure! Best way it's to avoid direct sunlight exporsure the more the better. Totally agree.

I was just pointing that he was probably using suncream but posting that sun it'd not bad for skin 🙃


so black people get melanoma at a maximum  of 5% lower rate than white people? I don’t think that’s right. Dark complexion plays a much larger protective role than that
