Today we’re going to talk about sun exposure and melanoma. On the one hand, there’s a push to have everyone avoid the sun. On the flip side, 69 % of the population has vitamin D insufficiency. 


Research indicates that:

 • Non-burning sun exposure is associated with a decreased risk of melanomas. 

 • Getting too much sun, like a sunburn, is associated with doubling the risk of melanomas.

 • Outdoor workers have lowered incidences of melanoma than indoor workers. 


Realize that vitamin D has a protective function that may help protect from the potential damage to your DNA that the sun can cause.

Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So there's a lot of confusion and controversy over this topic of

0:47.3

sun exposure and melanomas. On one hand, there's a push to have everyone to avoid the sun.

0:55.8

On the flip side of that,

1:03.2

69% of the population has vitamin D insufficiency. So what do you do? You're caught between a rock and a heart place. Well, I put a very interesting study down below that you should read. And this is a summary of you.

1:10.2

They're talking about the difference between

1:11.9

moderate sun exposure versus getting a sunburn. Non-burning sun exposure is associated with a

1:19.4

decreased risk of melanomas, okay? Whereas people in the category of getting a sun burn,

1:25.8

which is associated with doubling the risk of

1:28.8

melanomas. Okay? So as long as you don't get a sunburn, you're going to be good. Outdoor workers

1:35.4

have lower incidence of melanomas versus indoor workers. And it says, Chow Hurry in 2014,

1:44.1

performed a meta-analysis of data from 73 cohort studies with 849,000 participants

1:51.6

and 22 randomized control trials with 31,000 participants.

1:56.7

So there's a lot of people involved in this study.

2:00.1

The study found an inverse association of circulating

2:03.9

vitamin D with risk of death due to cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and other causes. So check out the

2:11.6

study. I put the link down below, but realize that the radiation that you get from the sun, that potentially could cause damage in your DNA and alter the DNA sequences can also be at the same time protected from vitamin D because vitamin D has a protective function as well among many other functions.

2:32.1

Anyway, I put some additional interesting videos in vitamin D on this page

2:35.9

right here. Go ahead and check them out. Hey, guys, I just want to let you know I have my new keto

2:47.5

course just came out. It's a mini course. It covers all the basics and how to do it correctly. You can get through this in probably 20 minutes at the very most. So if you're interested, click the link below and get signed up now.
