""Rarely have ever put on sunscreen anymore and get out in the sun as much as possible. And um one of the you know one thing I hear often from people right when you stop eating processed food vegetable and seed oils uh you don't get sunburned anymore.""
Ovadia says he rarely uses sunscreen and argues that sunburn is driven less by sun exposure alone than by polyunsaturated fats from processed foods and seed oils stored in subcutaneous fat. He claims these fats oxidise under sunlight, causing burning and potentially contributing to skin cancer later, and suggests avoiding processed foods reduces sunburn risk.
