"Hell yeah. I've been denounced multiple times by the American Academy of Dermatology. Like officially. They send an official letter when I write an article and they say, nobody should be getting any sun exposure. No sun exposure without protection. From either sunscreen or clothing. If that makes you vitamin D deficient, take a pill."
Rowan Jacobsen revealed the American Academy of Dermatology has formally denounced him repeatedly for reporting data showing sun benefits. The organization maintains an absolute zero-sun policy despite research showing cardiovascular and mortality benefits from moderate exposure, recommending vitamin D pills instead despite clinical trials showing they don't work.
