Seed Oils & Sunburns

Seed Oils & Sunburns

Seed oils and sunburns?
SAY WHAT?!
🔥Seed oils under your skin magnify the inflammatory effect of UV overexposure.
🔥Seed Oil Eaters Experience More Collagen Damage
80 years ago, before heliophobia (fear of the sun) conquered American society, you would’ve just gone outside and frolicked in the sun, sunscreen free, with not a care in the world.
And wouldn’t ya know— skin cancer wasn’t a relevant threat.
Are you ready for the numbers??
There has been a 2000% increase in skin cancer since the 1950s. 🤯
Childhood cancer has increased 2.5% PER YEAR since 1970. 🤯
To understand why- let me introduce you to nerdy sami & my medical journals I’ve read.
In many studies it was shown that when people DECREASED their sun exposure they actually were MORE likely to get skin cancer.
So if less sun doesn’t work, what does?
Some doctors (much smarter than I) believe that skin cancer comes from lipid peroxidation aka “oxidative damage”.
Lipid peroxidation comes from… drum roll please..
SEEEEEED OILS!
& when did seed oil consumption take off? The 1970s.
& when did skin cancer realllly start to rise?
1967 when soybean oil became prevalent in everything 😵💫
When you realize that sensitivity to UV light increases with PUFA consumption, as does the incidence of skin cancer, then it all starts to make sense: lipid peroxidation is the real cause of skin cancer that’s become more prevalent since the ‘70s.
As such, reducing it should actually reduce our skin damage. And it does.
The UV is like a match, and seed oil-filled skin like firewood. Without both, you can’t have a campfire.
Without both UV and lipid peroxidation, you don’t have skin damage.
And since UV exposure is natural, but seed oil filled skin is not, reducing seed oils in your skin is the correct way to protect yourself.
A million sources but this is the main one:
