D
30:31Dave WallaceHOST
No, and I think, you know, I guess none of us really know the full reasons, but it is really weird.
D
30:39Dave WallaceHOST
Maybe it's just because this is still emergent science, because as you point out, there's your work, there's people like Richard Weller who publish it, you know, Glenn Jeffrey out of UCL.

so i will never advocate for sunburn or sun sun damage so you've got to be careful look at the uv index uh cover up wear clothes that that blocks the ultraviolet infrared light can go right through those clothes as we mentioned Interestingly, from a scientific standpoint, the epidemiology says not really.
R
69:32Roger SeheultGUEST
There was a Swedish study that showed that the highest exposure to sunlight had the lowest mortality when measured over 20 years in 30,000 Swedish women.
R
69:43Roger SeheultGUEST
Richard Weller repeated that study in both men and women, UK Biobank.
R
69:47Roger SeheultGUEST
And there was about 400,000 people in that study.
