The article is based on interviews and quotes from people who actually know him. Journalism is based on interviewing sources and reporting what they said. I donāt know why you think itās equivalent to a Reddit comment but I suspect itās because youāre blinded by your admiration for this man.
You linked to a review paper of existing research in the area and its conclusion is: we donāt know enough to speak authoritatively about this, more research is needed. From the paper:
Although most studies reviewed in this paper reported adverse neurotoxic effects of UV filters at concentrations substantially higher that those observed in environment and human tissues, these studies should not be disregarded, as they afford potential pathomechanisms which might occur in other conditions or sensitive populations.
Aka, these studies only found that itās toxic in doses no human would use as sunscreen.
Unfortunately, the effects of repeated, long-term and low-dose exposures to single compounds and mixtures of various UV filters is also poorly studied.
Aka we donāt actually know what the effects are for regular use.
But we do know that skin cancer is a real concern for people, and sunscreen has been proven to help. Until there is actual research showing sunscreen is toxic at normal usage volumes, itās deeply irresponsible of Huberman to advocate against it. Or make claims that havenāt been proven in the literature.
His personal life is relevant because it proves heās a pathological liar. Heās also lying on podcast appearances when he talks about his upbringing. If you want to take life advice from a proven and prolific fabricator thatās your prerogative, but he is not someone that should be promoted in a public forum like this
