The New Dog Jab Nobody’s Talking About, by @holisticvetUK open.substack.com/pub/holisticve…

THE BIOLOGY OF SUNLIGHT ADDICTION Ultraviolet (UV) light interacting with the skin initiates a conserved biochemical cascade: UV exposure stimulates keratinocytes to produce proopiomelanocortin (POMC), which is subsequently cleaved into multiple biologically active peptides. One of those peptides is β-endorphin. β-endorphin binds to opioid receptors in the brain, producing analgesic and rewarding effects, mechanistically similar to other addictive stimuli. This creates a reinforcement loop: UV exposure → β-endorphin release → positive sensation → repeated sun-seeking behavior. From an evolutionary perspective, this “addiction” is not accidental, it’s designed: Sunlight exposure drives: • Vitamin D synthesis • Nitric oxide release • Infrared-mediated mitochondrial stimulation
