And get this: avoiding sunlight can double one’s risk of dying prematurely, and it also increases the risk of all other cancers.
Sunlight also:
• is critical for mental health
• reduces the risk of breast cancer
• is vital for cardiovascular health
• increases one’s longevity
• triggers the production of Vitamin D
• is vital for proper immune system function
So, why all the fearmongering? The answer seems to be “follow the money.”
A Midwestern Doctor writes:
“A remarkably sophisticated public relations campaign was launched to
transform society for the benefit of [the dermatology] industry.”
The demonization of the sun has “allowed the dermatologists to cast
themselves as heroes and to stir up as much anxiety as possible about
the sun—especially as a psychological investment they had to make
constantly putting sunscreen on would make them more likely to go to
their dermatologist.”
Moreover, the skin cancer fear campaign has created “a massive sales
funnel by being allowed to do a massive number of routine full body skin
exams (on otherwise healthy individuals) and hence have a huge pool of
potential cancers to biopsy or excise (remove).”
Lastly, the war against sunlight has allowed them “to piggyback onto
the fear the medical industry has marketed around cancer to justify
charging a lot of money to do something questionable to prevent cancer
and having every patient go along with it the second they hear the
dreaded ‘c’ word.”
So, there you have it. Now, you understand why they want you to fear the sun.
