Dr. Heather Heying says sunscreen talk is broken: it’s not just about cancer.

"The idea that the only thing you should be thinking about with regard to sunscreen—should I use it or not?—is your risk of skin cancer, is patently wrong.

So again, be thinking about the effects on your overall health and whether or not being exposed to the sun might be good for you.

And the answer has to be yes.

The answer has to be yes, because we evolved outdoors under the sun."

Should you slather yourself in sunscreen, stay indoors, or seek moderate exposure to the sun that grows in intensity that more your skin becomes acclimated to the season?

Heather and Dr. Bret Weinstein share how they, as evolutionary biologists, approach the subject of sun exposure in Episode 331 of The Evolutionary Lens.
