Using the above calculator, it should take me 15 minutes to get a sunburn. I went out in the sun for a hour today, so 4x the exposure time.

I got hot, I was sweaty, but I didn’t get a sunburn. Bright beautiful day. Mostly carnivore for 8 months now. Went out at noon, peak sun time.

    A 1996 mice study showing that seed oils made mice more sensitive to sun damage.

    Evidence shows that dietary omega-3 PUFA supplementation provides an added layer of systemic photoprotection from the damaging effects of UVR

    A university faq about fats and omega3s being good for skin health.

    So not much to explain photosensitivity and diet.

      Neat, I don’t use sunscreen and rarely regret it, good years I spend enough time outside in late spring to get a tan then I’m fine

      When I was a kid my hair was sun bleached blond thanks to a swimming pool at home and summer holidays
