The Argentina come back against Egypt is one of the best matches in football history.
I analyzed ~50,000 games with Fable to show just how crazy it was.
Of the 10,138 times that a team has been up 2-0 at 79', only SIXTEEN times (0.16%) did they ever make a come back at the end of 90 minutes.
This is the first time it's happened in a World Cup.
I’m a dermatologist. I’m supposed to say there is no amount of safe sun exposure.
But I won’t, because that’s a lie.
The attached shows how much sun is safe in different cities at different times of year.
What do I mean by ‘safe’?
I mean this: UV causes DNA damage and skin cancer.
But, shockingly, your body repairs that damage. As long as the damage doesn’t outpace repair and start accumulating it shouldn't increase your risk of skin cancer.
Data just came out that tells us how much UV you can get without damage accumulating.
They took the people most susceptible to DNA damage from UV and exposed them to UV, then did skin biopsies to measure the damage, then more skin biopsies to measure the repair, and repeated it daily for 4 days.
At 1.6 ‘Standard Erythemal Dose’ (SED) there was no accumulation of damage.
So, the attached charts show how much sun it takes to get 1 SED in different cities at different times of the year at different times of day.
And there are extra safety margins built in. It assumes a perfectly clear day with zero air pollution and that the sun is hitting your skin perpendicularly. Unless you’re laying flat, most sun is hitting you at an angle, which isn’t nearly as intense.
But a bigger question you might be asking is ‘Why would a dermatologist be telling you to get sun in the first place?’
Because getting sun reduces your risk of death.
Mostly by reducing your risk of heart attacks and strokes. That is very well proven.
But it’s also very likely that sun exposure reduces your risk of autoimmune disease, dementia, cancer and depression. It’s just not as well proven as the protection against heart attacks and strokes.
And before you reply and say ‘just take vitamin D!’, know that it has been ROBUSTLY proven that vitamin D has little (if any) benefit for preventing any of the above. Vitamin D is mostly useful as a marker of if you’re getting enough sun.
What do I do myself and what do I tell my patients?
Get as much unprotected sun exposure as you can without getting a burn.
That’s my GUESS as to what has the best risk/benefit ratio. Dying of skin cancer is actually really rare, especially when compared to the risk of heart attacks, strokes, autoimmune disease, dementia and other cancers.
But I’ll admit it’s not for sure best to get as much sun as possible, since sun does increase the risk of skin cancer and it might be the case the benefits plateau at a low level.
So, if you’re really worried about skin cancer stick to the charts.
The best science I can find says that amount won’t cause skin cancer.
The takeaway?
Sun is good for you, just don’t get a burn.
Me intriga saber que pensará un europeo cuando ve que por James entra un tipo que no les suena de nombre, medio gordito, lento y después lo ven tocar un par de pelotas y se dan cuenta que es el más talentoso de los 22 en cancha

As a cardiologist I have spent years warning that we overprescribe statins and medicate numbers instead of treating root causes. I wrote A Statin-Free Life because patients deserve the full evidence, not a prescription reflex.
Mark Kaplan’s story is why this matters.
A former professional tennis player who competed at Wimbledon. He followed every guideline. Low fat diet. Avoided red meat. For fourteen years, seven separate blood panels flagged one number: LDL. Seven times he was told to take a statin. Not once was his insulin, inflammation, or Lp(a) tested.
At 52 he had a heart attack on a tennis court.
Only then was he put on the statin. It took his memory, his mood, and very nearly the man his family knew. His fifteen year old daughter had to tell him: “You are not the same father I have known.”
So he stopped. He investigated everything the system never tested. And today at 58 he is on zero medications with the metabolic health of a man in his early forties.

The patient’s voice is the one the medical establishment needs to hear.
I apologize in advance if this applies to you but I sincerely believe that if you think Ronaldo was ever close to Messi, you are of an objectively lower mental status than me, something akin to a sea urchin or maybe a mussel.
