Welcome back to the Ultimate Human Podcast. I'm your host, Gary Brekka, and today we're discussing a health topic that impacts millions of people every year, skin cancer.

The sun's a constant part of our lives, providing vitamin D3, boosting our mood, and giving us that summer glow. But exposure to UV radiation, those invisible rays from the sun, can reach our skin and and they can lead to damage, premature aging, and worst of all, skin cancer.
In today's episode, we're gonna dive deep into the topic of skin cancer prevention from understanding how UV rays impact our skin to evaluating the effectiveness and the safety of sunscreens. We also explore emerging natural alternatives and the growing interest in hydrogen-based UV protection. Let's break it down.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, affecting millions of people each year. In fact, more people are diagnosed with skin cancer annually in the U.S. than all other cancers combined. But what exactly is skin cancer?
It occurs when the DNA in the cells of the skin are damaged, primarily by ultraviolet rays from the sun or tanning beds causing mutations that lead to uncontrolled cell growth. There are three main types of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma, this is the most common form of skin cancer. and it often appears as a pearly or waxy bump on sun-exposed areas of the body.
While basal cell carcinoma rarely spreads to other parts of the body, if left untreated, it can grow deeper into the skin and damage the surrounding tissue. There's squamous cell carcinoma, which is the second most common form of skin cancer, and it typically appears as a red scaly patch or even a sore that just will not heal.
