If you get all the way to the call to action, it doesn't actually say to stop using sunscreen altogether. It basically says you should make sure you get some sun, but not too much. Which I don't think is anything new.
- jbotz 7y agoActually, the point of this article is that it is something new... for the last few decades the medical establishment and of course the sun-screen industry have been absurdly dogmatic and absolutists, telling people to avoid all sun, and anyone who dared to say that it was OK or even desirable to get a bit of sun was vilified (in one case lost his position as department chair of dermatology at Boston U). I think this article is spot on. And like you say it doesn't say to avoid sunscreen altogether... it says: "Each person’s needs vary so much with season, latitude, skin color, personal history, philosophy, and so much else that it’s impossible to provide a one-size-fits-all recommendation."
