Red Hair and Skin Cancer, Sleep Tracker Misfires, and Reducing Health Risks.
56:01 - 1:02:31 (06:29)
The link between red hair and skin cancer is uncertain and requires randomization to determine its causality. An over-reliance on sleep trackers can cause unnecessary anxiety, and specific exercise prescriptions and APOB levels can reduce health risks by up to fourfold.

In order to determine if red hair causes those individuals to have higher rates of skin cancer, a randomized study would need to be conducted where one group has their hair dyed red and the other group has their hair dyed a different color, then followed over time.

Summary
In order to determine if red hair causes those individuals to have higher rates of skin cancer, a randomized study would need to be conducted where one group has their hair dyed red and the other group has their hair dyed a different color, then followed over time. Observing a correlation between hair color and skin cancer rates alone is not enough to establish causality.
