There is one thing that has been clear to me for a long time, and yet I don’t do enough to share it with the world
The world is divided into two:
People who chase the sun and people who fear it.
What the chasers have in common is that they can heal from it, stay under it and feel good with it,
and others,
burn easily, develop pigmentation, turn red and the sun is a source of concern because for them it really does cause damage.
So what is the difference?
There is the degree of habit, those who are often exposed to the sun also build resistance. A person with very fair skin who is not exposed to the sun often, when he goes into the sun he will immediately burn, but someone who visits the sun regularly will discover that the sun is not supposed to create bad feelings.
And in a world where we have been accustomed to working from home and fearing the sun, of course people will be exposed to it less and less.
And there is the physiology of each and every one of us, and what is this physiology created by? Among other things, from what we feed ourselves.
Most religions of ancient times worshipped the sun.
So how is it possible that the same sun burns and harms those who encounter it today?
The answer lies in a less sacred connection that has been created in the last 60 years.
The sun has not always been associated with skin cancer.
In recent decades, we have seen a drastic decrease in sun exposure. Not only are most people afraid of the sun, we also spend most of our time indoors, and yet skin cancer cases are only increasing.
The most important sentence in my opinion that every person must understand is that nature does not make mistakes, nature responds to our actions.
Are humans, in an encounter with the divine sun, not the same as those humans who encountered the sun 60 years ago?
The answer is no. So what has changed? The answer is very simple. Nutrition.
And to be precise, refined seed oils.
One of the drastic changes that has happened in the last 60 years is that humans have replaced the consumption of natural oils that they have consumed throughout evolution with refined oils called seed oils.
Canola oil, soybean oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, and the like are all oils created through complex chemical processes, sometimes through genetic engineering, at high heat, and they have been considered in recent years as the number 1 dietary cause of disease.
Why are they so toxic? Studies show that when they are produced, they become oxidants and inflammatory for us. They are considered ultra-inflammatory foods. (Rich in omega-6) When we put them in our bodies, they create free radicals, and studies show that it can take years for them to leave our bodies.
So humans began to feed themselves with unnatural substances (nature reacts) and we begin to be damaged.
Instead of our diet being based on antioxidant foods, the Western diet is based on inflammatory and oxidant foods.
Seed oils have been linked to cancer, intestinal infections, diabetes, heart disease, infertility, brain damage and of course skin damage.
The thing is that when our body is loaded with seed oils and so are our cells, including skin cells, our skin burns faster and damage is caused to the skin and health.
One of the main mechanisms by which UV light damages the skin is through oxidation and free radicals
And sensitivity to UV light increases with the consumption of seed oils.
However, no one connects one with another, we continue to talk about the sun being dangerous but no one stops to ask why?
We accept everything as a given, we don’t wonder why one person will develop a disease and another won’t?
So you already know that seed oils cause sunburn but the damage of seed oils has no limits.
But what about pigmentation? Why do some people develop pigmentation and others don’t?
Let me introduce you to another of the other side effects of consuming seed oils:
Seed oil spots.
Not all skin blemishes are created equal, and in some cases, freckle-like spots can be a sign of seed oil poisoning. You may have heard them called “liver spots” or “age spots,” but I prefer seed oil spots, which more accurately describes their cause.
What if there was a pigment, formed from oxidized seed oils, that accumulated in the skin and created freckle-like spots?
It turns out there is such a substance, and it’s called lipofuscin. Here’s what we know about it:
Lipofuscin is the name given to fine, yellow-brown pigment granules composed of lipid-containing residues of lysosomal digestion, and is considered one of the age-related pigments found in the liver, kidneys, heart muscle, retina, adrenal glands, nerve cells, and ganglion cells.
Lipofuscin appears to be a product of the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. It is known to contain sugars and metals, including mercury, aluminum, iron, copper, and zinc. It is composed of oxidized proteins as well as lipids.
Why is it composed of all these toxins?
Lipofuscin is a byproduct of “oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids,” that is, the oxidation of fats, the decay of seed oil, combined with heavy metals such as iron and aluminum that accumulate in the body.
Lipofuscin causes macular degeneration, which is also caused by the consumption of seed oil.
Lipofuscin causes Alzheimer’s, which we also know is linked to seed oil (and sugar) consumption.
This is a disturbing discovery, and it seems to fit all the criteria to explain our seed oil spots. Lipofuscin causes brown pigmentation in the skin (and other tissues), and is a byproduct of seed oil oxidation.
This means it will mostly affect people living in industrialized countries, and will increase with age and overall sun exposure, which is exactly what we see with seed oil spots.
Not freckles; these are liver spots called Seed Oil Spots. While seed oil spots are only visible on the skin, until you can see them outside, the rest of the body probably has them too.
These balls of seed oil decay and toxic heavy metals have been found in eye, nerve, liver and brain cells, but they likely affect all soft tissues in the body. Some people have even claimed that IBS/leaky gut is actually just lipofuscin in the intestines.
So where do we encounter seed oils? Almost every time we eat out. Beyond fried foods made with seed oils (they used to fry in beef fat), almost every restaurant cooks with seed oils because they are cheap, and the food industry injects them into most processed foods – even milk substitutes (read ingredient lists).
What can be done? From the testimonies I read online, people who stopped consuming seed oils experienced a reduction and even the disappearance of their pigmentation spots. Another thing is that Lipofuscin is reduced by vitamin E, which cleans up the decay of seed oils. Since it is a strong antioxidant and is found in certain fish, avocados, mangoes, pumpkins and more…
To the study linking seed oil consumption to liver toxicity
I created Gut Rules, an online nutrition course, to help people understand how to heal the body through nutrition without being dependent on anyone else. This happens when we begin to understand the food we eat, the effects of food combinations and the signals the body gives us and how to work with them for our benefit.
It is an empowering, educational experience that comes from learning, experiencing and a new adventure, there is nothing more fun that brings new energy to life than learning something new and doing something good and empowering just for yourself. Knowledge that will improve who you are for the better because you will know what is good and right for you.
A nutritional change improved my health but it did not end there at all.
My self-esteem improved, my self-confidence increased and my experience of life became more and more positive.
