[URGENT ALERT] The alarming TRUTH about SUNSCREEN 

Mainstream medicine DESPISES the sun.

If you’re going to be spending the day at the beach or pool, you’re supposed to slather yourself with copious amounts of sunscreen.

And since it doesn’t last all day, they stress reapplying the chemicals frequently. (That’s right, I said chemicals…because that’s what almost all of today’s sunscreens truly are!)

There’s just one thing the mainstream didn’t fully consider until NOW...

The assumption has long been that sunscreen chemicals stay on the skin, where they prevent the sun’s rays from burning you.

That’s what sunscreen manufacturers have been saying for decades.

But an ALARMING new study reveals quite a different—and flat out DANGEROUS—scenario…

Where does the sunscreen go?

Researchers analyzed four of the most common sun-filtering molecules on the market, in the form of two sunscreen sprays, a cream, and a lotion. Participants were to use them like they would at home.

In mere hours, the blood concentrations of the chemicals shot up like a ROCKET – well beyond what the FDA considers safe!

Even more alarming, in all cases but one case, the harmful chemicals stayed in participants’ blood streams for DAYS after use. (Cream users saw their chemical concentrations come back down sooner.)

In other words, those chemicals don’t just sit on the surface of the skin; they’re absorbed after application in a matter of hours.

What these chemicals do to our internal tissues is unknown and will require further research…

But you can bet it’s nothing GOOD!

Just think about issues like the effect of long-term exposure…

Or how children might be at additional risk, with their smaller ratios of body surface to overall size?

The bottom line is this: While we know the sun can cause skin cancer, we know almost nothing about the benefits and risks of using sunscreen chemicals.

All this begs the question…

Is sunscreen worse than sun exposure?

In the eyes of mainstream medicine, this is currently unanswered.

Yes, it can up your chances of developing skin cancer…

However, that’s not the FULL STORY. The truth is that data is very conflicting with regards to the risk of sun exposure and the development of skin cancer; some studies link the two, and some don’t.

In actuality, the only consensus is this: the risk of melanoma is tied to your skin BURNING more than it is to sun EXPOSURE.

For me, the answer is definitive…

The sun is one of your greatest allies.

You see, sunlight and vitamin D are so incredibly important that sunscreen and sun avoidance could be FLAT OUT DANGEROUS…

As dangerous as, say, smoking or eating sugar.

And if you follow some “ground rules,” sun exposure can actually:

BOOST your immune system
LOWER your blood pressure
REDUCE YOUR RISK for type 2 diabetes
And, ironically, PREVENT skin cancer

The key is to not get burnt.

If you get a sunburn, that’s a sure sign your body has taken in as much vitamin D as it needs. Anything after that has no benefit at all.

So the first thing to do is get some sun, but pay attention; when you start turning pink, it’s time to go back inside.

What’s more, Mother Nature has provided her own natural sunscreen – an internal sunscreen. There’s no need to carry around bottles of semi-solid liquids that spill all over everything.

This “internal” sunscreen is called astaxanthin. It’s a carotenoid that is responsible for the brilliant pink color of flamingoes.

In a study, participants taking 4 mg of astaxanthin for several months were able to prevent UV damage – up to a certain point.

The idea is that the nutrient builds up in your skin layers from the inside, enabling its potent antioxidant properties fight the free-radical damage that sun exposure can set off.

Add astaxanthin to your diet by eating more seafood, including salmon (especially sockeye, the reddest type of salmon), shrimp, lobster, and trout. Make sure to choose “wild-caught” varieties over “farm-raised” ones, which may include artificial colors.

You can also get astaxanthin in supplement form. This is usually found as part of an eye support formula.
