It's all relative. Sunscreen itself has carcinogens. It's kind of like blood pressure medication. It's easy and works. But obviously exercising and eating better would be better.

Same with the sun. Gradual exposure and not baking deliberately in the sun would be better, but sunscreen is easier.

At the end of the day we're extremely well adapted to the sun for the most part, within reason.

I'll say that I think if the situation was truly as simple and non-nuanced as you describe, I wouldn't have any reason to be confused or uncertain on the topic.

But as stated, since even those who adhere to best practices seem to be at higher risk with compound exposure, I think your claim of simple acclimation is a little lacking. I think there is truth in what you say, but far from the whole truth and it is what is missing which eludes me as well.

Old school sun block was mostly zinc oxide in paste form, so not really cancerous
