    We’ve evolved while being irradiated by the sun for literally billions of years. Your body has mechanisms to repair damaged DNA and kill+replace cells that are too damaged

    We evolved for lots of things that are harmful overall. Unless there is evidence that sun exposure gives some non vitamin d advantage the fact it literally causes cancer means you should avoid it in general.

    I like how your rebuttals both say that supplements are both not able to give you vitamin D but also simultaneously a risk of overdose.

    Avoid the cancer causing radiation. Just take a pill every day and get your blood work done to see how much you should take.

    But at least with infrared people won’t spread misinformation about how there’s no safe levels.

    That’s because infrared light doesn’t cause cancer. Although your support for infrared light exposure does identify you as a bit of a quack.

      You do realize that you can be both chronically deficient of something while also acutely overdosing on it, right?

        Yeah, if you take like 15 pills on one day or something stupid like that.

        But unlike the risk of taking 15 vitamin d pills, literally all the potential of giving you skin cancer.

        This doesn’t mean you have to be stupid and never go outside at all because “oh my goodness it’s going to give me cancer”. It just means that installing UVB emitters in our fucking light bulbs is a bad idea, and if you have vitamin d deficiency you can take a pill every day.
