Title Behind the Scenes of 'Is Sunscreen the New Margarine? Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Outside Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 30 minutes. Section covering RW research starts at 5 minutes Country/Territory United States Date 30/07/19 Description Earlier this year, Outside contributing editor Rowan Jacobsen wrote a feature that questioned whether our efforts to avoid skin cancer have caused us to develop an unhealthy relationship with the sun and sunscreen. Looking at controversial new research that challenges established guidelines for sun exposure, Jacobsen suggested that more direct sunlight on our unprotected skin might actually be good for our health. The story struck a nerve, becoming the most popular article in the history of Outside’s website and provoking some pretty loud criticisms. Outside podcast contributor Stephanie Joyce talks to Rowan about his reporting, his response to critics, and whether skipping the SPF 50 is really a good choice.
