And what they showed, they basically tested glucose.

They did 10 minutes of the sunlight exposure for seven days.

They tested the, and they also had a control group.

So they had people who didn't get the sun and people who got the sun.

They showed that on the first day compared to the seventh day, blood glucose levels dropped exponentially.

Roughly around 30%, which is also a very similar stat to what we saw in the Glenn Jeffries study.

It was a 27.7% reduction in blood glucose levels with the red light shining on the subject's back.

And we saw a very similar, around 30% reduction from simply being outside for 10 minutes in the morning and getting hands and face exposed.

The authors of the study attributed these effects to vitamin D production,

Because we do know pretty clearly that vitamin D is able to interact with our circulating blood glucose and it has an effect on our blood glucose.

But my takeaway from this study, and again, this is why I reached out to the authors.

I have a few questions with it.

But I actually think that

More than likely, it was probably the red and infrared light that was doing most of the work here in terms of lowering that blood glucose level.

They didn't test the vitamin D level.

So if they tested vitamin D levels, and if we saw an increase in vitamin D levels, then maybe we can come up with that conclusion being confirmed, but we don't.

But nevertheless, very interesting study there.

So lowering blood glucose levels from short amount of time being exposed to sunlight.

And then another study that just came out, what, like less than two weeks ago now, from the time we're recording this podcast.

It was published in Cell Metabolism, one of the leading scientific journals.
