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.

Residencies are a thing now. We’ve proven they work.

Because of our success at HF0, a bunch of people are now calling things they run residencies. But they’re not.

That’s why we are announcing the establishment of an accreditation body: the Accredited Residency Council (ARC)

Leverage.

What stablecoins did for the dollar, xStocks are doing for tokenized equities.

[xStocks @xStocksFi]

Through Kamino Multiply, users tap into the xStocks Market to increase their exposure and earn yield.

This is how it works:
• Multiply executes leverage in a single transaction:
• Flash loans borrow the capital upfront
• The borrowed USDC swaps for the target xStock
• The xStock deposits as collateral in K-Lend
• USDC is borrowed against the collateral
• The borrowed USDC repays the flash loan
• Your position opens at the selected multiplier

The entire loop executes atomically, as @xBartega explained to us.

[xStocks @xStocksFi]

Yield on tokenized equities. Yes.

For the first time, users can deposit $SPYx, $QQQx and $TSLAx on @kamino and earn on their assets.
❎ Up to 13% APY
❎ Up to 3.5x exposure multiplier

This is the upgrade.
