Obviously, you need to protect yourself against this happening, because folate is really important for healthy metabolism and also for making healthy babies. There's also an interesting argument, some recent evidence, from Nina Jablonski we heard her talking on the show recently about this, that very deep ultra-violet radiation can actually break down folic acid, folate, in your body. Whereas if you have dark skin, the melanin helps to protect you. Us people with very fair, pale skin, when we're exposed to a lot of sun, a lot of ultra-violet radiation, our chances of getting skin cancer are actually much higher because the UV light from the sun can really penetrate into the skin. This means that people from countries that have dark skin, they're actually much less likely to get skin cancer. And melanin is almost like the body's natural sunscreen, it helps to protect you against the damage that ultra-violet light can do. This is the dark pigment - if you're fair skinned, you can see it in your moles if you're dark skinned, you have a lot of melanin all over your skin.
