Sun ProtectionOne of the most interesting facts about people who live in tropicalclimates like the Philippines, where the people are constantly exposedto the rays of the sun year round, is that skin cancer is almost

unheard of in these places. Here in the US we are constantly warnedabout the dangers of exposure to the sun, and yet the sun helps ourbodies produce much needed nutrients for our skin, such as Vitamin D,which has been shown to prevent cancer.

Once again we see that coconut oil is probably one of the main reasonspeople in tropical climates can spend so much time in the sun and notsuffer from skin cancer. Coconut oil has wonderful antioxidantproperties that protect the skin from free radical damage. Also, when

coconut oil is consumed and used topically on our skin, it helps ourbodies absorb other nutrients more effectively as well, such asVitamin E, another powerful antioxidant nutrient that protects the skin.I am fair skinned but used Virgin Coconut Oil as a sunscreen in Florida last summer.

My family thought I was crazy. I did not burn although everyone elsedid (with their toxic sunscreen). One day, I did get a little too muchsun, and was a little red, but I put the VCO on it and it was gone bythe next day. So try it, and see, just be sensible about the sun,

nothing can protect you if you stand in the hot sun for a very longtime. (Coconut Diet Forums)I just got back from my 7-day trip to Jamaica. I used VCO exclusivelyas my sunscreen. I had no burns and my tan is even and golden. I am

somewhat fair-skinned. Most of my time was spent in the shade, but Ispent a good amount of time floating around on the water each day. Myhusband is even fairer and he did get pink slightly on his shoulders,at which time he applied both sunscreen and VCO to that area (VCO

everywhere else). His tan is also pretty dark. People kept commentingon what nice color we were getting, ha ha. Marnie (Coconut Diet Forums)It should be noted that when reports like this are made in ourdiscussion group, invariably some will try using Virgin Coconut Oil

exclusively as a sunscreen and go out and get burned! Some have evenreported that sometimes the coconut oil works wonderfully as asunscreen, while at other times they seem to get burned. It seems thatthe oils you put into your body are just as important as what you onto

your body in regards to sun protection. We have found that if one eatsfoods loaded with polyunsaturated oils, generally they will burn morein the sun. It is theorized that when one eats foods cooked inpolyunsaturated vegetable oils, often with trans fatty acids, that one

is putting oxidized lipids into their skin tissue that are causingfree radical damage, and more susceptible to burning in the sun. So ifyou just got done eating some french fries from a fast foodrestaurant, you may be more susceptible to sun burn!
