Why Sunscreen Isn’t Ideal

Why Sunscreen Isn’t Ideal

Sent by JUDY CHO | July 30, 2022

 

Did you see the release of Nutriment, Carnivore Cure’s plant toxin database (that has been expanded to all food sensitivities)?

 

Nutriment was definitiely a labor of love, I don’t know how accountants look at numbers and spreadsheets all day long.

STUDY OF THE WEEK — Sunscreen

Nutrition with Judy “Ditch the Suncreen” excerpt:

 

Sunscreen is a multi-billion-dollar industry, yet there are no studies that prove that the use of sunscreen protects us from melanoma and basal carcinoma. In fact, the fatal types of melanoma never see the sun (the bottom of your foot and the anus). You can read more about melanoma and sunscreen here.

 

However, ever since 1978, when the first UVA sunblock was marketed, sunscreen sales have soared, but so too has melanoma.

 

Sunscreen has also been found in studies to cause leaky gut, hormonal dysfunction and neurological dysfunction.

 

Research by the Environmental Working Group has found that chemicals in sunscreen are very big endocrine disruptors.

 

Sunscreen is estrogenic, a potent anti-testosterone, and causes other adverse hormonal effects by possibly interfering with the thyroid. Of the 1400+ sunscreens tested, only 5% met their safety standards and over 40% considered skin cancer contributors.

 

You can read more here.

 

When you first get in the sun, antioxidants are protecting you. When these antioxidants can no longer protect you, that is when your skin starts to burn. When you use sunscreen, you are only blocking the 4% that is UV but the 47% that is infrared goes much deeper into the skin and into the mitochondria (the energy powerhouses of cells). When you wear sunscreen, you block the burn of the sun and so you stay out longer than your skin can handle and then that 47% of infrared gets into your skin causing all sorts of damage in our bodies.

 

How to Protect Yourself from the Sun?

 

The best option is to cover up and not go out in the sun during peak times of UV and infrared rays. If skin cancer doesn’t run in your family, there is even less reason to be using sunscreen.

RICHEST POTASSIUM SOURCES (as unbiased as possible!)

🌱 We think of minerals being richest in plants. Yes, technically gram for gram, some plants have more minerals.

⚠️ But context matters.

🔎 And I LOVE how Nutriment now makes this level of nuanced context easily accessible. (Just search on the Nutrient Ranking section!)

✌🏼 Some people have abandoned a carnivore or ketogenic diet because of mineral imbalances.

❓ Sure 100 g comparisons, raisins, dates and figs have more potassium, but what about all the carbohydrates (without much fiber) and all the antinutrients?
❓ Why do we think fruit is safer than veggies?

⁉️ If you compare the fruit vs. vegetables, there is NOT a stark difference in antinutrient (plant toxins). So who came up with nature’s candy wants to be eaten?

🦄 Let’s stop believing internet gurus and their magical safe plant lists.

⛑ Rely on evidence-based research to really consider what plant-based foods are safe for you and considering ALL things.

💡 And considering all things, heart of palm is the safest plant-based food to eat for potassium.

❓ But let’s be honest, how many of us eat heart of palm or beet greens daily?

🐓But if you eat about 26 ounces of ONLY ground chicken, you hit your daily potassium level.

🥴 You can see how silly the PUFA context in animals becomes in the overarching understanding of nutrition.

🚨 Let’s leave n=1, emotions, and sugar addictions out of evidence-based nutrition.

🎉 On a serious note, if you want this level of nutritional context to support your personalized needs, check out Nutriment and no matter how much you try to manipulate the data in Nutriment, considering all things, NOTHING beats animal-based foods.

Okay, mic drop here. 🥩♥️
