I appreciate what you have written, though as a vegetarian since 1973 and vegan the past 3 years, we can live very healthfully without any animal products. Dr. Zane Kime wrote a book, Sunlight, published around 1980 that details aspects of what you have written. My experience is reflective of what you and he have written. While working in the timber industry and for 6 years spending much time in full sun from 2001-2007, I used sunscreen regularly. This led to an in situ melanoma on my cheek and a few other issues on my face, all of which I had surgically removed or frozen. I told the dermatologist (who taught at a large university) that I believed that my issues were exacerbated by sunscreens which he poo-pooed. After I quit using the sunscreens and started watching more closely the foods with the oils that you describe, I can take full sunlight if I prepare with short durations in the sun first and have no problems. Yes, I am a fair-skinned redhead.

Why doesn’t any nutrition person speak about astaxanthin any more for people over 10? It’s my favorite supplement and sunscreen (NOT) and has so many more uses.

I have lived in the Metro Phoenix Region now for 41 years from NY state and do not use sunscreen and my dermatologist says I am fine. I used to spend a great deal of time outside before Covid outside with my Grub Hub part time food delivery business, but now work from home full time for Lumen Technologies over 10 years and probably won’t drive again until I retire in 6 years.
