This probably gets posted a lot, but still good.
I admit, I was completely ignorant about the dangers of sunscreen. I never really thought to question it because as a kid, I’d always see everyone wearing it and it just seemed so normal. Now that I know we’ve been misinformed so hard by mainstream media.
Almost all sunscreen products contain cancer-causing chemicals in them. look on the back for yourself and you’ll see fragrance chemicals, parabens, toxic chemical solvents, etc. This is the same shit you are applying on your SKIN, and from the skin it’s ABSORBED into our bodies.
The whole “you get skin cancer from UV exposure” is a myth. This is only true if you eat a super unhealthy diet, avoid antioxidants, and are exposed to ridiculous levels of UV. Our skin is still part of our body and thus is made up of the foods we eat.
over 70% of the population suffers from Vitamin D defiency because sunscreen actually BLOCKS your Vitamin D production and as a result, you are more likely to experience winter flu, infection, osteoporosis, and cancer.
So now that you know about the dangers, you might be wondering how to protect yourself from the sun. It’s pretty simple. Improve your diet with antioxidant-rich foods and prevent lengthy exposure to the sun so that you can build up a natural resistance. Oh, and use sunscreen made from NATURAL ingredients. I wouldn’t try anything other than Loving Naturals sunscreen and Badger All Natural Sunscreen
