That is a highly myopic, frankly stupid, opinion that isn't even yours - you're just repeating things that you heard.

The deleterious health effects from not getting sun exposure vastly outweigh the potential DNA damage from sun exposure.

Can you quote the section of my comment that has gotten you so upset please?

I want to know exactly which bit of what I wrote instigated this response, so I know how to reply properly.

What deleterious health effects from not getting sun exposure?

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Vitamin D deficiency. Rickets. Osteopathic problems. Seasonal Affective Disorder. Weight gain. Etc.

They make vitamin D pills

You can get the RDA of vitamin D from a healthy diet, without need for sunlight.

Weight gain is caused by diet and lack of exercise, not lack of sunlight.

SAD can be treated with non-carcinogenic lamps.
