Sunlight causes your skin to produce nitric oxide, a critical compound for maintaining blood pressure that reduces your risk for heart attack and stroke Benefits of sunlight exposure vastly outweigh risks of exposure. Evidence shows your risk of dying from skin cancer is 80 times lower on average than your risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke Nitric oxide enhances blood flow, promotes blood vessel elasticity, lowers blood pressure, and functions as a signaling molecule in your brain and immune system Elevated uric acid drives up blood pressure by inhibiting nitric oxide; overconsumption of fructose is the most significant factor underlying elevated uric acid levels in the US and other Western nations The “melanoma epidemic” is grossly overstated; research shows 90 percent of melanoma surgeries are for benign lesions; the latest science suggests appropriate UV exposure is protective against melanoma
