This is because nowadays most people, if not all are Vitamin D deficient.
Right on brother.
Sunscreen is extremely bad for your health because it's literally a toxin, then it inhibits the benefits of the sun, between many of those it's the Vitamin D which is a must for bone development, a lot of people look worse than they should because they're Vitamin D deficient.
If any of you wanna learn more about sunscreens:

Thanks. Yah, I knew there were some high IQ people on this forum, which is why I joined.
High IQ posting.
If mothers were on a good diet 3 years before having children, then while pregnant and then feed their child a good diet, there would be more good looking people.
Definitely. People underestimate how much nutrition effects looks long term as well. Even bone structure.
Mouth breathing is caused by both pre-natal nutrition and the nutrition of the person over a time because being constantly stuffed up from sickness leads to mouth breathing. Poorer muscle tone leads to poorer posture which also leads to mouth breathing, so it's all caused by things like nutrition, exercise, and sleep quality.
Mouth breathing leads to a sagging midface do to Wolf's law, which is very unattractive. We can make a difference our lifetimes, but it takes decades if we weren't given a good start like Chads were.
It just seems weird. Why would major academic institutions lie about what's good for you? It seems counterintuitive if you ask me.
So the reason Grains were pushed at the bottom of the food pyramid initially was because the reagan administration was trying to reduce starvation in the U.S. More people eating cheaper grains reduces over-all food prices because of supply and demand, which results in less starvation.
Grains also use to be healthy. Less than a century ago, Norman Borlaug bio-engineered short grains to produce more crop for less cost. Again, it reduced starvation around the world and he wound up getting a nobel peace prize. But it increased the gliadin quantity which leads to negative health effects from increased gut permeability.
There's also the 7th day adventist which are a religious group that's heavily involved with the U.S. government, and have funded multiple studies to try to make meat out to be bad. It's because they believe god told their leader that eating meat is sinful. It sounds crazy but it's true.
So the myths get started for reasons like this, then they become the standard that no one wants to risk their career questioning, despite the facts.
Other myths originate from a variety of sources such as industry funding, industry lobbying, FDA revolving door with industry, and sometimes just plain bad science, but if there's no group that applies continued pressure such as industry, politics or religion then the science eventually fixes itself, it just sometimes takes fifty years or so.
I am intrigued. What is healthy? What can we eat and what is poison?
So as far as what is actually healthy. A wide range of different vegetables, and some non-processed meats. Nuts and fruits are ok in smaller quantities.
There's a couple reasons you want as wide a range of different vegetables as possible. One is that vegetables contain different kinds of poisons that the plants use to fight off predators. The body can filter out these poisons, but only so much for each type. So if you eat too much of one kind of vegetable you overwhelm the body's ability to filter out the poisons and you literally poison yourself.
The other reason for eating a wide range of vegetables, to include cruciferous vegetables and every color of vegetables is because they all contain different phytonutrients that the body needs for optimum function.
When it comes to meats, processed meats are very unhealthy and lead to lower life expectancy. Fish is healthy, but bigger fish have more mercury these days, so smaller fish and small seafood like shrimp and are the most healthy sea foods. Eggs are also very healthy. Chicken and beef might be healthy but the Jury's still out on those. I personally eat chicken and beef. There are correlation studies trying to make out that meat is bad, which are Highly flawed for a huge amount of reasons (that's another three hour argument). Vegetarians are not eating optimally.
Now when it comes down to the exact optimum ratio of all these things, that comes down to genetics, as well as what your body is adapted to. If you eat these foods every week, you'll be pretty good.
Now if you wind up eating more meat and less vegetables, let's say 75% meat and 30% vegetables, then you're going to want to make sure you're eating a wide range of non-processed meats to get a range of different nutrients, as well as eating organ meats. Organ meats, like liver are important because they are the most nutrient dense and contain the widest range of nutrients. But if you're eating mostly vegetables then then ensuring you get organ meats isn't critical.
What products can we use if any?
So when it comes to products that's very tricky. The reason is no one has money for a long term study, so we don't know the long term health effects of any product.
But when you're looking at products, look for double blind placebo controlled studies. You'll find essentially none of them are backed by this, and rely on placebo influencing studies so they can push their snake oil, which may be harmful.
When controlled for placebo, multivitamins have a negative effect on lifespan for example.
The only products I take are Vitamine-C, which has been shown to have some positive effect on skin health and the immune system, as well as Niacin, which increases NAD levels which increases DNA repair.
I also use a Vitamine-C or Vitamin-E moisturizer after I take a shower, which is not too often. But both of those can actually be utilized by the skin, unlike peptides or almost all of the skin care industry bullshit.
DRMA Rolling or Lasers to induce stem cell regenerating of skin does work for reducing wrinkles, but may lead to stem cell exhaustion if over-used. So i mean, I don't know. Might be useful. I did it for a while but don't anymore. I'm not going to do it again unless I have a real wrinkle I want to get rid of. Technology is going to improve, and stem cells will be growable in a lab, so it's not like you have to perfect.
Lights, that turn red in the evening, as well as blue light blocking programs like FL.UX make a big difference in sleep quality. Circadian rhythm is governed by light colors.
And this isn't a product, but longer fasts, like more than 7 days with zero calories likely has a huge health benefit and slows aging. I could write another ten pages on that, but I should end it here.
