Why are American experts hesitant to acknowledge that moderate sun exposure can benefit you?

American health experts often emphasize the risks of sun exposure due to the vital link between UV radiation and skin cancer, particularly melanoma, which is the most dangerous type. The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the US than all other cancers combined, and one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70 (Downing, 2022). This concern about skin cancer often overshadows the potential benefits of moderate sun exposure.
