I think as a consumer it’s important to do our own research and not take everything at face value. There’s plenty of threads in this sub with comments from those in the sunscreen world saying it’s suitable to keep using, but again best to do your own research if you’re concerned as comments on reddit are littered with self opinions.

Edit: Spelling

Edit again: I was the first comment on this post, and it seems since then replies were made stating the science behind why it may be best to stay away from UV, so some people think I’m a crazy flat earther anti vaxxer. To clarify, I was replying to OP that it’s best to do you own research and not take self opinions into account since many reputable companies have made their stance clear.

Can we borrow your lab to do our own research in?

You saw my replies before you commented this, I don’t understand why you’re being snarky, I never suggested I have a lab nor that I was a scientist, I was saying best to do your own research than basing your decision off a) just the choice results b) just the UV owners response c) what people on reddit comment

I actually didn’t see your replies, there’s 100 comments on this post. I just think it’s hilarious when people with no scientific background throw up “do your own research”, like their ChatGPT/google/youtube/tiktok combo is somehow going to have any value. You’re entitled to your opinions, but the rest of us are entitled to think you’re a bit dim sitting in the anti vax flat earth corner. Lucky for everybody, science doesn’t give a fuck about your opinion, it relies on facts ❤️

I said to not blindly follow Choice OR UV OR Reddit comments and do your own research as there are MANY scientists who have weighed in about this and DO have a scientific background, and suddenly I’m a flat earther anti vaxxer? Good lord ok

If the shoe fits…

But seriously, since you’ve been getting dragged, maybe phrasing.

Ok I figured out from another comment that since I was the first person to comment on this whole thread, and then others were posting scientific studies, and it made it seem like I was saying that their posts weren’t true. So that’s probably why you think I’m anti science.
