I’ve Seen Too Many People get Cancer from THIS - Dr. Anthony Youn

About this video

Kane interviews holistic plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn about skin aging and skin cancer prevention. Youn claims skin ages through five processes: nutrient depletion, collagen degradation, chronic inflammation, oxidation from free radicals, and buildup of cellular waste. He argues sugar is the single food to cut first, saying it drives insulin spikes and glycation that damages collagen, and he also advises reducing ultra-processed foods while eating antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, especially berries. On sun protection, Youn urges taking skin cancer seriously, recommends at least SPF 30, and says he favours mineral blockers such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide while avoiding the chemical sunscreen ingredients he names as potential hormone disruptors. He also endorses red light therapy and argues against starting Botox young, which he calls unnecessary spending that can build resistance.
