Neurosurgeon Jack Kruse
I ended up having a conversation with an old acquaintance about how a natural tan leads to natural sun protection, therefore you won't have to use sun protection. My alarm system went off and I was like "a natural tan only provides about 3-4spf. Sun protection is essential to prevent DNA damage." I was told I was wrong and to look up Jack Kruse, the POMC gene and melanin, and how you just need to build up your natural solar callus. I was like "idk that sounds fishy." so I looked it up and it wasn't really all that true or accurate. So I pointed it out and she got snarky with me and said i worship beauty guru dermatologists.....and that because i said I get my sources from reputable terms she pretty much was laughing in my face and pointing out that Australia is the least healthu county in the world, all bc i said i follow Lab muffin beauty science, an educator in Australia.
I didn't stoop to her level, as she was trying to insult me for trusting dermatologists, telling me "nice try" and how this is her business and livelihood , selling paleo, biohackjng, red light, blue light, etc. Which i did tell her it's do believe there are nuggets of truth here, but something is OFF.
Does anyone have more information or understanding of this weird stuff? I was just blown away at telling people to stop using ssunblock or protection and get a natural tan and you'll be fully protected. Sounds like bullshit!
