As a child who grew up eating the Standard American Diet filled with Crisco, Wesson Corn Oil, margarine, glyphosated grains, etc., I burned easily and a lot. Since eliminating oxidizing PUFAs and glyphosate from my diet, although it took a few years, I don’t burn as easily and tan very well.
I know MSH (Melanocyte-stimulating hormone) is another important factor for tanning. Chronic inflammation will cause low MSH thus cause issues with tanning. 1 in 4 people have CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) and CIRS affected people have low MSH, especially if they have untreated MARCONs.
Modernity has added more complexity and poisons to our “survival”.
To get an optimal vitamin D supplement from the sun at a minimal risk of getting cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM), the best time of sun exposure is noon. Thus, common health recommendations given by authorities in many countries, that sun exposure should be avoided for three to five hours around noon and postponed to the afternoon, may be wrong and may even promote CMM.
Roman's article was suggesting get early am sun and midday. My point about hats and fair complected people was common sense - if you do sunburn easily then too much midday sun is too much, seek shade. You probably still make vitamin D in the shade on a sunny day.
You are psychic maybe. I had a post in the works about accepting paid subscribers and then I didn't post it. Bit of a mental hurdle for me. * Yesterday, I posted two other things instead.
Hi Jennifer. Nice info. I'm just a bit confused on histidine dosing. When calculating per body weight you mention 700mg for a 154 pound person. In your summary I see 700mcg mentioned. Could you elaborate? Thanks.

Low vitamin A also can make you burn more easily I think.

At what time should one go out in the sun?

That link is interesting and says brief exposure does count, so a little brightness then shade. .. I do sunburn easier than I tan.
