#168 Iron, The truth about sunscreen & Who wants a gym in their hotel room?

So the low tox movement is not all good news.

Now this is from Men's Health.

They report that as claims about vitamin D suppression and chemical toxicity circulate online, sunscreen is getting bad press.

So this has been everywhere.

So content creators, fitness coaches, and even Andrew Huberman have been warning their followers about the dangers of toxic sunscreen.

So they say we need to prioritise sun exposure and ditch the SPF.

So experts say that daily SPF use can lead to a deficiency in vitamin D.

Now, all of this is happening as skin cancer is on the rise.

So in the UK, melanoma is now the fourth most common cancer in men, with rates climbing faster than any other cancer.

So are we right to fear toxic overload and our skin absorbing endocrine disruptors or how should we protect our skin this summer? So team, this is a hot topic.

What do we think?

Well, it's a very hot topic because of course in the summer people hopefully are wearing SPF.

I was pretty shocked when I read this whole article because it's in Men's Health, as you said, not a magazine that I read often, but this was online and I read it because I was quite shocked to see some of the names that were quoted.

So Andrew Huberman was quoted as saying that he is more afraid of the toxicity of sun cream than he is of melanoma.

Now that I was like, wow.

Now, this is from the magazines.

I'm hoping that they've, you know, source, they've got the source check for this.

The other one was Tim Spector.

So we all know and love Tim Spector in the UK.

If you shop in M&S, you've probably bought some of his products.

He is the doctor that talks a lot about gut health.

And he works with M&S.

He's grey and people, you know, he's got grey hair.

He looks very, people just love him, right? Dr.

Tim Spector.
