Re: CS>Vitamin C as Sunscreen ( Great Sunlight ) Vitamin D study
Parents in Australia, which has very high skin-cancer rates, conducted an unwitting experiment on their children, keeping them out of the sun or entirely bundled up in UV-cutting outfits outdoors. The result was rickets. The children had sufficient D in their diets but could not synthesize it due to lack of sunlight.

The short story is that the tanners increased their D level over the winter, while the controls lost it, and were all deficient by spring. The dermatologists lost it- they wrote scathing rebuttals, insisting the authors were encouraging people to get skin cancer, etc. They replied to that too. It was so good I saved it. The truth is, the sun is the only good means of getting vitamin D. We are made to get it that way. All the supplementation in the world will not give you the benefit that a little bit of sun will. Being deficient in Vitamin D can give you cancer too. And the recommendations to get D via supplements are put out by those same dermatologists. That is not to say that skin cancer is ok either- but people need to be reasonable, think about it, and decide for themselves.

Strange - Original Message - From: "Wayne Fugitt" To: Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 7:53 AM Subject: CS>Vitamin C as Sunscreen ( Great Sunlight ) I can't believe you guys blamed the great and valuable SUN for that ? It is obvious you were physical weaklings and had 1000 things wrong with, you... Not the sunlight, the greatest health force on this earth. > Actually, as a victim of sunstroke several years ago, I spend little time in the sun. > But years later as an adult, one hot day on the beach I got > sunstroke in less than 1/2 hour and was sick for a few days afterwards. Since then I cannot tolerate the sun for any length of time, and I avoid it pretty much. How unfortunate ! One that puny needs to be home in bed. The problem was, and may still be, not enough sunshine. When I was a teen ager, I rode a tractor all day in the sun. No shirt at all, and only a pair of boxer shorts. I was so brown, and Indian looked like a White Man. Never had any problems. The result was strong bones and a healthy life. In those years, the only vitamin and minerals were from the good food chain. ( early to mid 1950's ) I did drink lots of raw milk and eat eggs. Fruit and vegetables, fish, rabbit, and other food I could collect. Even huge turtles up to 80 pounds. If you blame the sunlight for sunstrokes, .. you have made a drastic mistake. 99% of the people today are afraid of the sun. Maybe they need to live in a Cave and only come out at night.
