The British celebrity restaurateur said he got the skin cancer removed, sharing a picture showing a line of stitches from his earlobe to his neck.
British celebrity chef and restaurateur Gordon Ramsay shared Saturday on Instagram that he was diagnosed with skin cancer, which he said he got removed.
The fiery 58-year-old TV personality shared a picture of a bandage over part of his face and neck, and another showing a line of stitches from his earlobe to the top of his neck.
I think Sunscreen may cause cancer indirectly, because it makes some people think they can stay out in the sun almost indefinitely.
Problem is although they may get less damage per hour, they get more accumulated damage because they stay out much longer without clothing.
Get a little sun without sunscreen to make some sweet vitamin D, then wear clothing or seek shadow as the way superior protection to sunscreen.
If you absolutely must be in the sun half naked all day, then by all means, wear some sunscreen. Just don’t think sunscreen really protect as much as advertised against the long term effects of too much sun. Because obviously it doesn’t.
well I was about to engage with you, but now you’ve deleted everything!
All that and he still couldn’t gracefully take the L…
Was skin cancer rare? Or were skin cancer diagnoses rare? I worry that you may be presenting the same flawed arguments that we see used to promote claims of an “autism epidemic”.
Aussie paper for the interested.
This is why the 80’s were full of slip slop slap
RFK Jr logic.
No I didn’t say not to use sunscreen, relax for Christ sake.
I’m just speculating that sunscreen is not protecting against cancer quite as much as people may believe.
How is that such an offensive statement? I’m not saying it doesn’t protect. Only that it possible camouflages damage because it helps avoid sunburn, which may cause people to stay in the sun too long.
Why is that so offensive that everybody wants to attack me? I may be wrong, and if that’s the case then fair enough…
Is it possible that we get less natural UV protection from the atmosphere now? I’m just making a wild guess but we’ve had so many environmental changes and climate change has made summers so much more severe.
Yeah, that was one of the things with the cfcs causing damage to the ozone layer. I would also say a lot more pollution (including microplastics) just generally everywhere, clothing showing off more skin, and that smoking isnt causing other things first.
The ozone layer is generally back in place because that was like the last time an industry agreed to cease its harmful climate change inducing behaviors.
It isn’t actually. It stopped getting worse and is very slowly recovering. The hole is still mostly there and many parts of the ozone layer are still thinner.
They agreed because cheaper, better options became available.
Good point, and absolutely that’s a possibility, but AFAIK it was worst in the 80 or early 90’s, with huge holes in the ozone layer at the poles.
This improved when certain gasses that are harmful to the ozone layer became regulated globally. But it may have slowly deteriorated again, I’m not quite sure of the current state.
But at least now weather reports include warnings against days with particularly high UV numbers.
But still it is my clear impression that sunscreen makes some people stay out in the sun before they have a tan to protect against it, and instead use sunscreen to stay in the sun longer.
But tanning-beds could also be part of the reason.
Of course this may not not be the case for “normal” use, but with excessive use tanning beds are harmful, and you may not be as protected by sunscreen as some people think.
Perhaps, its still worth bringing up here that you’re supposed to reapply as needed.
Well technically if that is the reason, that would actually confirm my theory that people get skin cancer more now than in the 70’s because they think sunscreen protects more than it does.
I bet on “we learned to diagnose skin cancer”.
This is absolutely a large part of it.
That’s a very naive comment. We could diagnose it just fine in the 70’s here in Denmark. And even treat it so it basically never was terminal.
Advanced terminal skin cancer is very obvious, but if we couldn’t diagnose and treat before that, there would have been way more that died of skin cancer back then instead of fewer.
😆🫵
Shut your armchair misinformation ass up.
In the 70s Denmark didn’t have dermoscopy, digital mole mapping, or modern melanoma drugs… Early cases were often missed and late cases were basically untreatable, so pretending diagnosis and treatment were ‘just fine’ back then is pure revisionist nonsense.
Already had you tagged as ‘fuckstick.’ looks like it wasn’t a one-off.
How polite you are, why the aggression?
OK but can we at least agree that terminal skin cancer is pretty easy to detect, and if so, how do you explain that terminal skin cancer was nearly unheard of in the 70’s.
I just don’t think sunscreen protects quite as well against cancer as it does against sunburn, although obviously avoiding sunburn is beneficial, but apparently terminal skin cancer cases have been going way up AFTER we began to use sunscreen, at the very least as far as I can tell, they haven’t declined.
Maybe I should tag you as an asshat?
It’s always the sign of the bad faith arguer to throw decorum and impropriety at their opponent whenever they refuse to tolerate absolute clear and objective bullshit.
You don’t get to play a victim here. You are spreading misinformation and you know it. Or you don’t and that just makes you a willing dupe.
So no, I think his response was well withing the polite decorum afforded a peddler of dogshit. An idiot trying to take everyone else down with them.
The time for tolerating bullshit alternative science peddlers is over.
You can go fuck a duck. I’m exhausted by people like you over the years. You want to feel special, like you know something more than everyone else and this somehow gives you permission to challenge established data and science with you “opinions”.
Fuck all the way off. The time for a concerted public backlash against people like you is at hand. I’m so fucking tired of idiots feeling like they deserve equal time with experts.
Hey im stealing this as a blanket copy pasta for the next one of yhe idiots i come across, thanks
This is how everyone needs to learn to start handling these shitheads.
Because you’re spreading healthcare misinformation that could literally get someone killed.
Here’s where I block you because I don’t want to be in a community with people that remind me of RFK Jr.
No I’m not, where is the risk of getting killed when I CLEARLY warn against getting sunburn, which is the main cause for skin cancer!!
