I'm just putting it out there: the thumbnail of this video left me with the initial impression that this was going to be a pseudoscience misinformation video. I clicked fully expecting to downvote it into oblivion. In truth, as far as I can tell, it does appear generally to be on a straight and narrow. It would, however, benefit from citation of reputable sources, either in the video itself, or at least in the description. Just asserting these things to be myths, under the banner of being an nutrition "insider" (whatever the hell *that* means), is not an evidence-based response to what I agree, in principle, are myths. Any person who believes these myths is not going to suddenly have that belief dispelled just by asserting some alternative view since "that's just, like, your opinion, bro". Well-meaning, reasonably well-produced, and commendably concise video. Just go the last couple of yards and you might be onto something.
TNI Editor-in-Chief Lexi here :) Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! That's actually a great idea to include citations. We do this already with the articles on our website, so there's no reason we shouldn't also do this with our videos. I'll be sure to discuss this with our video team.
Hi Kandy! Some sunscreens contain chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which are known to disrupt hormones by mimicking or altering their natural functions. These chemicals can penetrate the skin and may affect estrogen, thyroid, and other hormone levels. If you're concerned, consider using mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which don't have these hormone-disrupting effects. These options are often labeled as "reef-safe" and provide effective protection without the potential risks.
@@manduhgrace i anticipated that it might be interpreted wrongly. I didn't mean in a racist way or something. Perfect as in just the right hue to screen your skin from the sun. But that's okay, i am not gonna clarify myself more.
I am 62 years old white skin person (caucasian type living in Europe) and never used sun screen and will never do. I recommend to avoid high noon sun, use every shadow you can get, wear a wide brim hat (not such ridiculous base caps or baseball caps). And if it is not possible to stay in a shadow: wear your own shadow in form of a dark colored umbrella.
"Sunscreen is equally important for all skin-types and tones" I understand that you want to emphasize that no one is exempt, but by claiming its EQUALLY important, you're simply disqualifying yourself. It is only EQUALLY important, if all skins respond EQUALLY to sunlight, which you yourself acknowledge is not true!
You're absolutely right that different skin tones can have varying responses to sunlight, and my intention was to emphasize that everyone should be mindful of sun protection. I agree that the needs might differ depending on skin type, and I’ll be more precise in my wording in the future. Thanks for helping me improve my content, Sam!
From now on I'm being even more conscious about sun exposure. Thank you for providing this important information in such a vivid manner
It is so informative, but still easy to digest, enjoyable video!

what about hormonal disrupting chemicals in sunscreens?

Great video! There is a dark side to sun light exposure set the whole tone for the video.
Thanks, Mark!!
Great video !!
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting and entertaining info about sunscreen!
Thanks so much!
Critical information here in Arizona!
as someone with dark skin, I have been very wrong about not wearing sunscreen 😅
what makes you think you have dark skin? I think it is perfect, not too pale and still fairer.
If that's you on the picture; not dark skin at all.
@@Chronon88 you're judging off of an edited photo the size of a pea homie
@@AmanKumar-wh8tk what makes you think you can say dark skin isn't perfect?
