he Nutrient Photolysis Hypothesis states that:     melanin is important in the synthesis of the protein photolysis, and darker skinned individuals are better able to produce this protein     lighter skinned individuals produce too much folate and require photolysis to maintain healthy levels     darker skin tones protect against folate depletion preventing developmental problems in offspring     lighter skinned individuals absorb more photolysis which is important to synthesize Vitamin D
