The reason for this is a massive campaign by the dermatologists to
force people to stay out of the sun for fear of skin cancer. There was
a study done by some smart people from Boston and Edmonton, and they
studied the effects of tanning booths on Vitamin D. They used only
tanning booths that have UVb, as they know that UVb rays help the body
produce D. 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.

Maybe they need to live in a Cave and only come out at night.
