There is a lot of hype put about regarding the dangers of sun exposure
put about by those profiting from the cancer creation industry. Remember for each person who dies of skin cancer 30 excess deaths occur in the most common cancers breast prostate lung colon, These and 13 other cancers thrive in vitamin d depleted bodies. Applying sunscreen/sunblock prevents UVB rays from reaching the skin. Putting it on before you go out therefore totally prevents any vitamin d being made. This is why the average European woman has Vitamin d status around 50nmol/L, the level needed for maximum calcium absorption is 80nmol/L and to have 50% less breast cancer it's best to have 130nmol/L. If the advice from "Official" sources was correct we would not have the current deficiency epidemic. 9 out of 10 UK White adults are below 75nomol/l in Winter and 60% remain so the whole year. If you take the official RDA vitamin D and follow official RDA advice you will be vitamin d deficient. Similarly if you rely on your doctor to correct that deficiency you will be ill advised as they generally prescribe D2 Ergocalciferol and The Case Against Ergocalciferol as a Vitamin Supplement explains why. http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/84/4/694 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/en...rch=1 7259988 DCs metabolize sunlight-induced vitamin D3 to 'program' T cell attraction to the epidermal chemokine CCL27. explains how when UVB rays touch your skin the first thing the newly made Vitamin D3 does is to program your "T"Cells to start fighting skin cancer. Vitamin D synthesis is a heat driven self-limiting process. This means you need an erythemal index above 3 and UVB rays. These are only present when your shadow is shorter than your height and if you live above latitude 37 during the summer. The self-limiting bit means that once the cholesterol in your skin is converted to vitamin d3 it then should further heat be applied, be further processed into suprasterols. These are not used. So to maximise your vitamin D production you need to GO INSIDE or COVER UP after 20 minutes. (you will make 1000iu every 5 minutes so 20 minutes full body (or near as possible) exposure provides the amount you use daily. If you are trying to build stores for the Winter or rectify a deficiency situation then wait an hour for your skin to cool and the vitamin d to be absorbed then try for another 15 mins. But be aware 10,000iu is about all that the body usually makes each day so is a natural maximum. So 1x 20 + 2 x 15mins exposures are around the most anyone can benefit from. |

Oh what complete bs. Do you really believe that using sunscreen prevents all UVB or UVA from getting through? Have you even read the literature? Unless you have very dark skin, typically brown/black, and if you live in areas that don't get much sun (like extreme north or south), you get plenty of sun. Do you put on sunscreen walking to the car, to the mall, to the mailbox? Feel free to die of skin cancer if that's your choice.... -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

The central cause of melanoma, is not sun exposure, but an imbalance in the omega 6 to 3 fat ratio. Epidemiological, experimental, and mechanistic data implicate omega-6 fat as stimulators and long-chain omega-3 fats as inhibitors of development and progression of a range of human cancers, including melanoma. Rather than promote the use of sunscreens and severely limit the valuable benefits of UV-B radiation, we should encourage the judicious use of clothing and timed sun exposure. |
