I'm not sure if there are any research showcasing the effects humanity has had in general due to low sun exposure. From all the benefits of Vitamin D and the recent human behavorial shift leading to low sun exposure (car travel, air conditioning, sunscreens even), there are bound to be new biological or psychological changes humanity is experiencing for the first time.

Tangentially, with ai tools available, post hoc secondary analysis of studies (like this) has to be insanely easier to run through. Are there are companies/individuals focused on this specifically? Obviously most labs are doing some of this but I’m curious if there are broader analysis being done

This is exactly what I've been thinking about lately. The modern knowledge-worker lifestyle is practically an experiment in extreme sun deprivation. We optimize our indoor spaces with perfect AC, ergonomic setups, and even custom ambient noise apps just to stay locked in a room for 10 hours a day doing deep work.

It makes you wonder how much of what we accept as "normal" afternoon brain fog or tech burnout is actually just our biology reacting to this massive behavioral shift and lack of natural light.

Myopia is one that comes to mind, with data suggesting that low exposure to natural sunlight contributes. Though in my case, I played outside a lot as a kid and I still have terrible eyesight.

> Pregnant person can do whatever they want with their body.

Yes, they can. But whatever they are doing to their body, they are doing to their baby as well.

Can they drink and smoke while they are pregnant? Sure, it is their choice.

Should they? Perhaps not, if they care about the welfare of the little human that is growing inside of them.

Before anyone gets in a stress, this is obviously some low life engagement bait troll. It might even be totally automated. It saw the word "pregnant" and decided to start on some diatribe about it without even reading the content of the link.

I am really sad that even HN is the target of this type of bullshit.

Don't fall for it by replying; it's a troll, probably automated.
