UV light will never hurt you when the six other colors are present
"You first have to understand why dermatologists and ophthalmologists believe UV light's bad in order to understand the whole paradigm.
"It turns out babies that were born with jaundice, […] they used to be put under UV light in the '50s.
"Well, it turns out a lot of those kids got retrolental hyperplasia in their retina. Immediately they found out, 'Oh, this is UV light exposure that caused the problem.'
"What didn't they know? That babies have lenses that are completely permeable to UV light. When we were in medical school, we were told by ophthalmologists that the lens blocks UV light, which is also bullshit. It lets 2% to 4% of UV through. Well, it turns out babies really let it through. Why?
"Because UV light stimulates brain growth. […] It turns out their lenses are permeable for sunlight to help stimulate them to grow. […]
"They eventually switched in the late '50s to the early '60s to blue light, because they found out the blue light didn't cause the retrolental hyperplasia and it was able to get rid of the jaundice. But what have we found out in the 2000s about kids that are irradiated for jaundice?
"They all have higher levels of melanoma, skin cancer, and this new cancer that's blowing up everywhere called ocular melanoma. It's the number one fastest-growing cancer in the ophthalmology literature. Guess what we found out now?
"We found out the story that the blue light goes from 435 to 465. That's what stimulates melanocytes in the RPE of the eye and on your skin. It's actually the key frequency range that melanopsin works at. Now we know that it's artificial blue light that really causes the cancer.
"Turns out that UV light taken out of its spectrum, so if you're thinking about the Pink Floyd album cover, remember, UV light only makes up purple. There's six other colors. UV light will never hurt you when the six other colors are present." —Dr. Jack Kruse with Dr. Jack Wolfson @ 52:05 – 54:25 https://youtu.be/I537lQoiu5c&t=3125
