You must eat a lot of seed oils.

Because tanned fat looks better than pasty white fat!

You would definitely feel different if you had a history like me. I have had eighteen melanomas since 1982. The first one in 82 is the only one I had to do chemo for. I go to the dermatologist every three months for checkups. I have no idea how many other skin cancers that I have had that weren’t melanomas. Usually either my dermatologist or me catch them early enough that they can be cut out in the office but my last one in January I had to get it done in the hospital because they also had to remove the lymph node that the area where the melanoma drains to. Anyone that is one centermeter or bigger they have to remove at least one lymph node and have it tested

I turned 60 years old a month and a half ago. I used to get sunburned regularly as a kid in Tampa, Tulsa, and my grandparents places in both corners of north Louisiana.

My life expectancy is to make it to 75 with the last few years a miserable experience. I couldn't care less about skin cancer at this point.

Have you taken a look around lately? Obesity, vaping, US addiction to medicines of all type.. “, ask your doctor.. about”. Pharmaceuticals skip the doctor and market to potential customers. Sedimentary lifestyles, sitting around all day on an iPhone, work from home in your underwear, 300 channels, Netflix, prime etc.,,

And you think people give a frick about skin cancer from the sun?

But why is tanned skin considered attractive? I’ve never understood it.

In Asia, pale skin is a hallmark of natural beauty and signifies that you were wealthy enough to not have to work in the fields.

There's probably more risk getting skin cancer from sun screen than from the actual sun. Remember how safe the covid 19 vaccine was right? frick the government and the doctors that push this shite.

I'm determined it's the overuse of sunscreen that's at least as damaging. Everything you put on your skin goes into your body. What on earth is in sunscreen anyway? Plus, everybody's walking around with low vitamin D.

Do you slather toothpaste or deodorant over your entire body? If you do, that's cool, but most people do not.

But if it's all a conspiracy clearly toothpaste and deodorant causes cancer too.

Plus I probably use more toothpaste and deodorant in a year than sunscreen

I'm not saying it's a conspiracy at all. I just think sometimes the antidote is worse than the thing itself. We now have toddlers with vitamin D levels like people in nursing homes (who never see the sun).

We have a ton of chemicals in our personal care items, and they can't be good for us.

Well not sure why you are disagreeing with me then. The person I replied to said Sun screen caused cancer
