Natural sun exposure is good for our health in many ways and it was proven years ago. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/joim.12496
I am actually so happy that you posted this information!
I have been a lifetime sufferer of really bad psoriasis... I've worked heavily with my dermatologist, who is wonderful!
We've had the very frank conversation that yes technically no sun exposure is the right move from a skin cancer standpoint... But that requires you to ignore all the deleterious effects of getting insufficient sun in other aspects of our body health.
That is to say, it's being shown that humans need a shitload of sun to stay healthy! The whole "no amount of sun is healthy" concept is a massive lie at worst, and a phenomenally myopic view at best
There are some risks involved. But there are much more benefits. I found this study from this video, where all of it is explained in details:

The natural sun isnt the same as it once was. We fucked up the atmosphere.
Edit: downvoted? On the science Lemmy? Wow, .world really is anti science trash now?
It's because of your pointless off topic attempt at getting virtue points.
