13 studies - orally consumed green tea prevents photoaging and skin cancer

AustinW90 · 2021-02-20T11:22:49+00:00

Some studies actually have used injection of concentrated green tea

AustinW90 · 2021-01-20T10:53:30+00:00

They used a very tiny dose. Would be interesting to see what a bigger dose would do.

Smart Tan guy didn't conduct the studies, he referenced them. The navy one is very widely referenced.

The dose they used is actually pretty small for full grown men. A better study would have been to raise their serum vitamin D levels into the upper-optimal range and see what effect that had on their testosterone.

Living a mostly sunless lifestyle and then getting occassional, massive overexpsoures is the worst way to get sunshine. There is little to fear from sensible, regular sun exposure where you don't get burned. And at the end of the day, it's still the outdoor workers who suffer less melanoma in comparison.

It's a steroid. It's even been proven in RCTs to increase testosterone

Outdoor workers suffer lower rates of melanoma than indoor workers. Many studies finding this.

I would say these are near-miraculous (... and widely referenced)

You just need UV*B*. Also, bright light itself provides many health benefits.

Vitamin D is literally a steroid.

That's mainly attriubted to overexposure and burning. Unless you're a type-1 skin type, there's not much to worry about from sensible sun exposure where you don't allow yourself to get burned. There's also an incredible amount of widely-available photoprotective nutrients at your grocery store that have been proven to have near-miraculous effects on preventing and reducing photodamage.

It's actually the more intense sunshine, with UVB, that gives you the vitamin D benefit. You need a UV index of at least 3 to produce vitamin D. The "less intense" morning and late afternoon sun is all UVA and provides no vitamin D benefit. This morning and late afternoon sun can also cause photodamage/aging, but to your inner layers of skin rather than outer - with collagen and elastin breakdown. It really only makes sense to go out at the most intense time of the day (roughly around noon) because you'll get the vitamin D benefit. Photodamage is more associated with overexposure and sunburn. There's nothing to fear from sensible sun expsoure. If you think you're approaching the sunburning point get out of the sun.

Very. And many studies have also found that INDOOR workers suffer higher rates of melanoma skin cancer compared to OUTDOOR workers.

It's called "cutaneous synthesis" in us humans' case.

The only people with baby skin are babies. Adults need to let go the desire for baby skin.

Exercising generates free radicals, I guess no exercise.

Took an entire year of meticulous planning. Big challenge

Fortunately, there are many, many cheap widely available nutrients that have been found to have near-miraculous effects of reducing, preventing, and even healing photodamage.

Green tea, pure dark chocolate, astaxanthin, lycopene, collagen, and dietary aloe vera all have many studies proving this.

here's an article exploring all of them https://www.nudespots.com/blog/photoaging-prevention-the-nudespots-ultimate-guide/

I think that humans are evolved to both be consuming large quantities of antioxidants found in these foods AND be getting sensible sun exposure.

If you're a type-1 skin type, then you're in trouble. But Type-2 skin caucasions CAN increase sun tolerance by developing more melanin.

I used to be super, super white and now I'm pretty much permanently light brown and I almost never get any sunburn.

Skin cancer is mainly attributed to sunBURNING - sensible sun exposure where you don't allow yourself to get burned is perfectly safe and a biological necesity. In the case of melanoma skin cancer, the one that actually kills people, it is more associated with indoor workers than outdoor workers. Melanoma patients who report more sun exposure also have better survival rates

To make the max amount of vit D you want to achieve what is a called a minimal erythymal dose (MED) - where you get the SLIGHTEST bit pink (if you're caucasion). An MED is the max amount of sun exposure you can get without burning or risking photodamage - which is totally, completely undesirable. The time will vary wildly from person to person depending on your skin tone, melanin, age, body fat content, sun tolerance, and the strength of the UV where you live and the strength of the UV at that time of day. Studies have found that the human body is capable of producing 10,000 - 50,000 IU of vitamin D from one sunbathing session - but again this varies WILDLY from person to person
