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.- Oliver Gillie
The SUNARC.org opens with this quote, and it contains plenty of information to back it up. Take a look at the maps showing UV exposure vs. cancer mortality rates. Then view the position paper (left-hand side) 'Estimated Benefit of Increased Vitamin D Status in Reducing the Economic Burden of Disease in Western Europe' for an idea of what the sun-scare tactics of the pharmaceutical and dermatology industries are costing us. Also noteworthy is the position paper 'Insufficient evidence exists to link sunbed use to risk of melanoma for those other than those with skin phenotype I' (the skin type we don't let tan indoors).
Peruse the rest of this informative website, and the information found in our other 'Latest News' articles, and then decide for yourself if the benefits of moderate sun exposure have the potential to outweigh the risks for many people.
