Default Shunning the Sun Is Dangerous!

Recent studies show that our so called experts who told
people to stay out of the sun have been terribly mistaken.

It's the great cancer cover-up. Panicked into avoiding sunlight by
health experts, we are now dying in our thousands from diseases linked
to deficiencies of vitamin D. But still the exaggerated warnings come.

excerpts from the article:

While every summer cancer charities and skin experts launch their
annual campaign to persuade people, against their natural inclination,
to cover up and stay out of the sun, there is growing evidence that
lack of exposure to sunlight is responsible for a multitude of
diseases from multiple sclerosis and diabetes to several types of
cancer and schizophrenia. And it's all down to a deficiency of vitamin
D - some 90 per cent of which we get from sunlight.

Expose yourself to strong direct sun everyday when possible for at
least 10 minutes provided you do not feel any unpleasant burning or
baking sensation.... Avoiding the sun completely by covering up with
clothes, covering up with suncream or always seeking the shade will
cause vitamin D deficiency and risks serious disease.

Are you sure it's not because of those poor English lilly whites? LOL
They could use a good tan.
