Sun protection/ Guest Comedian Christine Little

This episode is white hot. Mainly because we talk about sun protection with guess comedian, Christine Little. I am very fair and had to protect my skin pretty much my whole life. For me, son, protective clothes and hats have always been the way to go. But I do like mineral sunscreens and we talk about why. Did you know that you can get sunburn through your clothes? We get the answer to the question of whether or not the sun affects us our skin through a window.   We also talk about SPF and what it actually means and how it should affect how long you stay in the sun.

We have been told the sun is harmful and that we need to protect our skin from its rays. But the chemicals used in sunscreens are actually more dangerous for us than the sun; indeed sunscreen is harmful to all life on the planet.

Today, we gain insights on the problems with sunscreen and what to do about it from Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, a Clinical Laboratory Scientist and the author of "Sunscreens Biohazard 2: Proof of Toxicity Keeps Piling Up."

It's not the sun that causes skin cancer, Elizabeth explains, but rather the chemicals in the sunscreen that disrupt our body's balanced hormone ecosystem with carcinogenic toxins. She talks about the problem of sunscreen mixing with chlorine in swimming pools, turning them into a kind of "toxic soup". Elizabeth also explains why spray sunscreens are especially dangerous and why zinc oxide isn’t a particularly good type of protection, either.

But she does not leave us without hope. She offers a number of ideas for how to get a healthy amount of sun without burning. She describes how we can build up our sun exposure over time, the importance of coconut oil and a diet high in anti-oxidants and the benefits of the skin’s own melanin to provide protection.
