Statistically, people who experience sunburn are likely to live longer.
Duh thats because fair skinned whites are highly intellegent so they are better at preserving their health and they naturally have a longer lifespan cuz K strategy.
There is no correlation between sun exposure and melanoma,
Wrong. UV radiation causes mutations in your skin. The areas of your body with the most sun exposure get the most cancer.
Somewhere around 90% of blacks in the northern US were deficient in Vitamin D by the end of summer in one survey.
Thats because its useful to have light skin if you live in high latitudes and eat a grain based diet. Its equally useful to have black skin if you live on the equator. Because UV radiation exposure is harmful to DNA.
To assert or imply that UV radiation is harmless especially to white people is just wrong. If you are a northern european, especially one with freckles, you need to limit your exposure to UV especially for children.
Freckled people: you have the gene for skin cancer, you are a skin cancer time bomb— but you can put it off a little while by protecting your skin. You want Vit D, take a pill.
You are incorrect about the cancer part. I said melanoma specifically.
Sun exposure does increase your risk of topical skin cancer which is easily treated. It does not increase the risk of melanoma.

I am not implying that sun exposure is not dangerous but I am implying that we spend too much time indoors and have been successfully scared away from it.
A pill is not a viable replacement for sun exposure. The sun does more than help convert cholesterol into vitamin D.
Let us meet in the common ground that: You are warning of the dangers of too much sun and I am warning of the dangers of too little. Right now, I believe most people are seeing too little.
Humans evolved to spend upwards of 6 hours a day in the sun in their native climate, with melanomas being almost non-existent. Melanoma rates in children now are higher than historical melanoma rates in adults without sunscreen. It's the food not the sun.
A pill is not a viable replacement for sun exposure. The sun does more than help convert cholesterol into vitamin D.
So much of the view of the human body is overly simplistic like this. "Oh, this activity/organ/thing does this beneficial thing. That must be all that it does, and we can replace that with this pill. Now you don't need that original thing anymore." Nope, there are lots of other things going on as well that you're ignorant of. Best to follow as much as possible the natural ways of doing things.
Well here’s what I think, it depends on where you are living. Where are your people from? If they are from Scotland and you live significantly further south from Scotland, theres a good chance you are getting too much sun, especially early in life.
As people age their Vit D drops and at that point the deficit in D might outweigh the risk of UV exposure. But whites in their 20s and 30s should have more than enough vit D.
Oh I also think weight is a factor here. Fat cells hoard vit D.
What I found interesting was the story of a Polish chemist who found children living in Warsaw around 1900 were developing rickets whereas rural children were not. I cannot imagine city-life keeping children so much indoors like it does today back then.
Your points make sense too.
That's complete nonsense. Each cell in the body undergoes DNA damage 10,000 times per day. It's completely normal and does not cause mutations. What causes cancer is when these DNA repair processes break down, which like so many other pathologies is caused by the modern diet. If UV sunlight was causal with skin cancer then we would see an all-time low in melanomas historically, not rates astronimcally higher than when humans spent more time in the sun without sunscreen.
But but but fashion says freckles are da bomb.
I think they are the bomb. But they are highly indicative of your risk for skin cancer later in life.
Sure i guess, they were fun when young. But if i get them now im like 'fucking great'
