Sunlight

A recent article by A Midwestern Doctor critiques the prevailing dermatological advice to avoid sun exposure due to the risk of skin cancer. The author argues that this stance is overly simplistic and possibly harmful and driven by a profit agenda. The most deadly forms of skin cancer are often correlated with a lack of sunlight, rather than too much. The article emphasizes that sunlight is one of the most important nutrients for the human body, producing Vitamin D synthesis and improved mood, suggesting that sun exposure is healthy and necessary.
