In a better society, doctors that deliberately spread false medical information would be dragged out into the streets and executed.
"I love the sun. It's great, right? I can look at it any time I want. But ya gotta be smart. Lotsa people don't know this but I told Daedalus - I told him 'Look, wings made of wax won't work. I got an airline - use that.' But Daedalus didn't listen to me. And his son, Icarus, flew-flew-flew up the sky. And then - you know what? Then he crashed and died. Sad."
I'll let my dad know he had to have half his face cut out because he's soy fed.
I would love to live like those coastal lizards where you don't have to do very much thinky. You sit in the sun, maybe eat something, and listen to the waves instead of doing the same with social media
The waves: "Actually, Joe Biden has accomplished a lot! Trump is going to be even worse to Palestinians!"
Agreed. Clearly a skill issue.
Even if that was true (it's not, long term exposure to UV rays from the sun causes skin cancer), sun damage is still a thing. I live in a super sunny country, I don't want my skin to look like worn out leather by the time I'm 50. I'm putting on sunscreen every morning. SPF50.
Also the Andrew Huberman guy, basically a "science based" Joe Rogan knockoff, advised against putting on sunscreen because he thinks that the chemicals in it are more harmful than the damage caused by the sun. For some reason health and fitness gurus are going hard against sunscreen at the moment. I have no idea why they are doing this. One of the easiest ways to stay looking younger is to use sunscreen every day lol. Probably the easiest health and beauty "biohack" that exists. 30 seconds of work a day which consists of applying a cheap cream to your face and exposed skin, so you look 15-20 years younger when you're 60. You'd think health and fitness gurus would promote the hell out of this.

Why? By the time their flock are wrinkled and riddled with cancer they'll have already made their bag and cashed out.
Even if you're almost always indoors/work nights? I always lathered up multiple times when I worked outside or whenever I went anywhere to hang out in the sun, but maybe I need to add sunscreen to my daily routine of peering hatefully at the rays that intrude into my cave.
Whether or not sunscreen is needed indoors is kinda complicated. Here's a good blog post breaking down the science about it
This is like 1 or 2 steps removed from the "functional medicine" fuckheads that my mom was introduced to a year or two ago and is now pretty into. Thankfully she's not at the point of eating red meat and butter and eggs exclusively but there's some kooky stuff in there and the fact that you can find licensed doctors promoting every fucking variety of horrible misinfo makes my blood boil
Bro white people will straight up colonize the sun and then wonder why their skin is as scaly as a crocodile in one year
Vaxxed??
Inferior Seed Oils
Sunflower seeds
Doesn't protect against the sun
An interesting hypothesis.
So I've run into some of these anti seed oil people before, but is there any basis to what they're saying or is it just pseudoscientific quackery?
Most of the fat, which is essential for hormone production, in the human diet for thousand of years came from nuts and seeds. It doesn’t make sense that now all of a sudden these same oils are bad for you. Do people put too much oil in their food in general? Probably, but the seed oil itself isn’t bad. People would be surprised to know they really don’t need to eat that many grams of fat per day.
I don’t think the concern is the seeds themselves, but rather that in the process of turning them into oil and cooking at high temps it changes the molecular structure in ways that are not good.
I don’t know, I started looking into all this years ago before it got completely overtaken by chuds. It sucks because now I’m skeptical of any research that comes out about it because the space has become so chuddy. But back in the day I just swapped out cooking with vegetable oil for like, coconut oil and olive oil in some cases, not really a big deal. I don’t think it’s the sort of thing that anyone should panic over or change their diet if they don’t like it. But tbh drastically reducing how much seed oil I ingest was such a small change to my life I was just kinda like sure, ok, whatever.
There's a flaw with that kind of question because our scientific understanding of diet is nowhere near complete. Metabolism and the microbiome are crazy complicated. It's better to do experiments like actually cutting out seed oils to see what happens. And the weird thing is that their community has hundreds of posts about curing weird autoimmune diseases or digestion issues https://www.reddit.com/r/StopEatingSeedOils/comments/1bqpel7/so_thankful_for_this_sub/
Idk, I think it's compelling enough I've been changing my diet. I definitely get much less cravings for things, I actually just ended a 36 hour fast I did simply because I forgot to eat.

Israel's skin cancer rate says hi
When ur enemies want to age like milk, let them.
I'm just saying if we all wore hoods or floppy straw hats we'd need less sunscreen.
Not to mention, sunscreen is a low-key environmental disaster as well.
Modern fascism is so wacky, they're all basically led around by grifters and snake oil salesmen.
nothing new in American politics, grifters and snake oil salesmen literally formed a major religion around themselves here (Mormonism)
"swaddled in the flag" was some hot bullshit
American fascism came marching in with former confederate officers and flanked by guys in round thatch hats singing about pool tables.
I'll have you know snake oil is a superior fat which will allow you to sun yourself on a rock like a reptile
Without opening the link, how much should I bet he’s a chiropractor?
Lol. If your work results in people being suspicious and asking if you’re a quack, maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to be a doctor

According to the US school system he counts as both a serving of meat and vegetables. Get at 'im, kids.

nutrition is a completely captured field and doctors get zero training in nutrition
This guy is is obviously an idiot but I think that's a little disingenuous. Medical professionals who are not nutritionists receive less training than they should on many things, but to say zero like all doctors have no idea what carbohydrates and proteins are is just wrong.
Society is fucked
I strongly disagree.
Death is too kind.

RFK Jr’s VP pick is one of these quack sun people.
One would think that sunflower oil would be the ticket, but apparently not
all i know is tanning cured my psoriasis except for around my hair line
It also helps with acne. The problem is that it really does age you.
It definitely does not. It reduces the redness and appearance of acne, but UV exposure itself is irritating and can even trigger breakouts.
As a teen my acne would clear up immediately for weeks after getting a bit sunburnt on my face. Very much regret not sunscreening sufficiently now because of the increased skin cancer risk I took on. But I was told this happened because the sunlight killed off the bacteria on my face. I figured out recently that homemade hypochlorous acid does the same thing and is completely safe, and indeed, it is extremely effective at controlling my adult acne. .
I’ve never explicitly tanned before but whenever I get a buzz cut and my scalp gets some sun it goes away. Also heard it could be triggered by insulin resistance (which I also have)
As a
the sun is definitely my enemy. I hide from it whenever possible like the cave dweller I was meant to be before Dr. Yakub changed me.I want One Piece in real life!
We have One Piece in real life

Funny how skin cancer disproportionately affects white people living in sunny areas, I guess that's another one of Yakub's little jokes
Australians are just defective whites
