N=1 on Omega-6 and Sunburn: Can Sunburn be Reduced?

Hello Mr. Goodrich!
ReplyDeleteI have a question regarding sunburn, N-6 and the mechanism of this process.
I understand that removing n-6 from the diet also removes the chance of getting sunburn – which was one of the startling discoveries I made after starting a keto-lifestyle 2 years ago. I heard you interview with Ivor Cummins where you mentioned this issue and I recognized this as something that had happened to me as well.
My wife and I have a small facebook group where we promote a ketogenic lifestyle and we are writing about our experiences, advise and food we eat. At the moment we have excellent weather in Europe – or rather excessive heatwave and I am just running around in small trunks and getting a nice tan. At the same time every official news channel is warning people to wear sunsceeen with high blocking factor and I am getting annoyed about this so I want to write a small piece to put thing into perspective with regards to diet, n-6, vitamin dand UV-radiation.
I understand that sunscreen block vitamin d production which again block a lot of metabolic additional processes and I understand that n-6 become toxic if exposed to UV-light – but what is it exactly that creates the actual sunburn. Normally the melanin (either EU og Pheo) production increases and the body protects you but how do n-6 toxic interrupts this process, what is actually happening that inhibits the melanin protection and thus the protection against sunburn?
Best regards
