Vitamin D Expert: The Fastest Way To Dementia & The Big Lie About Sunlight!

Why It Matters

Reframed sunlight as a multi-wavelength phenomenon rather than a single vitamin-D delivery mechanism — a distinction relevant to MODUS's broader interest in sensory truth versus inherited wellness shorthand. Sharpened the editorial standard for how MODUS handles popular health claims: cite the credentialed source directly, verify every derivative claim independently, and discard anything (like the coconut-oil-as-SPF claim circulating alongside this interview) that doesn't survive a basic literature check.

Editorial Note

The accompanying long-form piece corrects several claims that exceed what Seheult actually states in the interview, including the unsupported "sunscreen is a lie" framing and the false coconut oil SPF claim. Full piece: The Sunlight Conversation Nobody's Having →
