Sunlight's Unique Biological Role
- Sunlight provides necessary nutrients beyond vitamin D, like endorphins, which improve mood and health.
- Natural sunlight's full spectrum and steady light differ fundamentally from disruptive flickering indoor lighting.
Indoor Light Harms Biology
- Flickering LED and fluorescent indoor lights disrupt our nervous system and circadian rhythm.
- Blue light enrichment indoors may harm eyes and circadian timing, unlike balanced natural light.
Melanoma Not Sun-Linked
- Melanoma is not strongly linked to sun exposure and often occurs on unexposed skin areas.
- Outdoor workers with chronic sun exposure have lower melanoma rates than indoor workers.
