Science has long warned against too much UV radiation because of the enormous risk of skin cancer. New findings show the dark side: sun rays through the skin are important for the immune system, the heart and the blood circulation, and against depression, diabetes and dementia.
In the 1970s and 1980s, people barely used sunscreen and literally worshiped the sun. Back then, almost no one was afraid of sunburn. But the sun has not been in good light for several years. The negative effects of UV radiation are well documented: when UV light penetrates skin cells, it can damage DNA. Although the body has repair mechanisms, too much damage, such as sunburn, can lead to cancer. The particularly dangerous malignant melanoma, also called black skin cancer, is caused almost exclusively by UV radiation.
