The images have gone viral.
All of the sudden people are posting photos of a trucker's face who obviously got more sun on one side than the other for 28 years. Check out the viral article and photos HERE. I still believe most of this comes down to diet. If you have a trucker's diet you're going to be more prone to the effects of the sun. This is not a theory. It is a fact. A diet that is deficient in antioxidants and fresh whole foods and high in fat leads to oxidation and free radicals, which can cause cancer and increase cellular death.
Did you know in tropical countries where there is sun is virtually 24/7, the incidences of skin cancer are almost non-existent? It's not because darker skin is less prone to skin cancer. In fact in the US African Americans are some of the fastest growing skin cancer groups. You can read more fascinating facts HERE.
Keep in mind I was both a lifeguard and a sun baby. Baby oil and iodine. I took in a lot of sun even into college. I think my father may have put sunscreen on me the first day of summer. SPF 15 once. Lemon juice and peroxide in the hair (the blonder the better). The effects of the damage should be showing up on me right about now since I am in my later mid 30's, but I firmly believe that because my mother shoved the right nutrients in me early I didn't get skin cancer and I continue to stave off the effects of the sun with my astaxanthin and resveratrol.
