I've seen links to prostate cancer and MS prevention as well in the news the last year. The fact that people in northern latitudes seem to suffer from more of all these conditions seems like pretty good casual evidence as well. It's also interesting that a lot of this starts showing up at around forty years of age give or take, which is about 10-15 years after your daily dose of vitamin probably starts to drop.... You don't get much sitting in an office your whole life after college...

Or increase the amount added to food products. Along with a focus on sunscreens that do a better job of absorbing the more hazardous rays while allowing people to spend a bit more time in the sun getting the beneficial UV-B.

We have been told too much of this is bad, too little of that is bad. Here is another study saying the same thing. The key is moderation....everything in moderation.

You did the public a disservice in airing this story without commenting on the use of sunscreen. We've been vociferously warned that sunscreen is necessary to be safe in the sun - - - your story told us that sun was good for other body parts than bones, but neglected to mention that sunscreen would negate or reduce that benefit. Many people will not read the details on your website and need to know that crucial piece of the story.
