SUNSHINE AND VITAMIN D: THE SCIENTIFIC TRUTH
This presentation describes the remarkable new clinical discoveries being made concerning Vitamin D, and the vitamin’s importance for good health. Sunshine is an effective natural provider of Vitamin D that is now being reconsidered. As a leading UK newspaper recently reported (Dec. 2010): “Experts have overturned decades of advice by urging people to go out in the midday sun without sunblock.” (Source: www.telegraph.co.uk Sun exposure triggers the release of serotonin (which lifts mood), beta-endorphins (which yield pleasurable feelings), and dopamine (associated with the reward system in the brain). So, it is reasonable to ask: Why would the body be rewarding you for doing something harmful? Our modern ways of living have had severe consequences. In prehistory, the nearer you lived to the equator, the darker you were. It is believed that the principal reason we developed different skin colors was so that, as man migrated from Africa, the correct amount of vitamin D would be maintained in the body. (“Northern populations experienced positive selection for lighter skin due to the increased production of vitamin D from sunlight and the genes for darker skin disappeared from these populations.” Wikipedia/ Skin Color) If so, this tell us that having the correct level of vitamin D level in the body must be vitally important. Bear in mind that it is only in the last two centuries that we stopped living outdoors. For example, consider the following: Percentage of the US …

@Rafedile Thank you for mentioning skin cancer. The deadly type is melanoma (1 in 20 skin cancers). However, the sun-melanoma link is very unclear. How near you live to the equator? does not predict risk. Melanoma is most common in office workers. Outdoor people (e.g., farmers) have reduced risk. Where melanomas occur on the body doesn’t match with the sites that have the highest sun exposure. It is very difficult to create melanoma in the lab. with UV. And high vit. D levels protect against it.

And most of the japanese population do not take vitamin D supplements. I get very little sun, but get plenty of vitamin D from foods and supplementation. I can guarantee that my overall health far exceeds? the average sun bather or frequent tanner, even if their vitamin D concentration is “slightly” higher than myn, which I would bet is not even the case for most tanners. The science does not lie. UV radiation causes Thymine Dimers to form, causing many cells to mutate (cancer)
@Rafedile Thank you very much for your comment. Yes, vitamin D supplementation works, and is generally the only realistic solution for people living far from the equator. Nevertheless, in Japan, too, as all around the world, the less sunlight you receive,? the higher is your risk of major cancers. The youtube video “Vitamin D: Diabetes and Colon Cancer in Japanese Population” (from 2.58 onwards) describes this.

Take a vitamin D supplement or multivitamin….Vuala, problem solved. And you can avoid the negative effects of UVA radiation. This concept seems above most? American’s intellectually capabilities. There is a reason the Japanese have the longest lifespan, and its not just because they eat a lot of fish. Its their ENTIRE lifestyle, and they are deathly afraid of the suns rays. And for good reason.
@hodmandod Thank you for commenting. We know with great certainty that for millions of years our bodies unwaveringly had high levels of vitamin D. Although medically we know with hardly any certainty at all how that vitamin D is used, it is already clear that for? a person to be without it is to substantially raise his/her chances of both early death and chronic disease. In decades to come, the decision to advocate sun avoidance will rightly be regarded as having been a public health disaster.
