We do too often associated with sun cancer. But it is not enough sun even more dangerous? A new study shows a surprising relationship between sunlight, vitamin D and cancer.

marinello, I also got sun poisoning visiting Florida, I never went again in the
sun for 25 yrs.
BUT, you need vitamin D, suggestion,
go out in the sun for 20 minutes a day,
before 11AM and after 4PM, if you feel
any burning sensation, get out of the
sun.
You might investigate the many illness,
some degenerative diseases like MS,
that are now believed to be caused by
vitamin D deficency.
I take 2500 ml, ever other day or so.
The daily 400 ml, is inadequte.
Good luck. -

“The medical community now recommends levels … not reached by many tanned, outdoorsy people.
To stay above the recommended minimum of 75-150 nmol/L, we must take supplements. Yet even dietary supplementation seems to be countered within the body.
It looks like natural selection has aimed for an optimal vitamin D level substantially lower than the recommended minimum of 75-150 nmol/L. This in turn implies some kind of disadvantage above the optimal level.” Early death?

‘Mad dogs and …. ‘
Im not reassured by the pro-vitamin-D literature. It strikes me as being rife with loosely interpreted facts, like the correlation between cancer rates and distance from the equator (and hence insufficient vitamin D). Cancer rates also correlate with the presence of manufacturing, which is concentrated at temperate latitudes.[...]
In a wide range of traditional societies, people avoided the sun as much as possible, especially during the hours of peak UV.”

We are not eating the way that traditional people did, with less D in the food, far more Omega 6s which increase the rate at which we burn Vitamin D. Don’t know where you get the idea that traditional societies avoided sun: working in the fields w clothing of natural fibers gets plenty..
Two hours in the sun near the equator will give you 23,000 iu of Vitamin D3. If you work in the fields, you will get that much daily, even with a mid day break.

Sun poisoning is different from Vitamin D toxicosis, being a kind of severe burn. I have had it too (where sunscreen in Florida washed off my feet only.) But sun levels do not have to even cause tanning to build up your D levels. Curiously noon, when UVB gets through, is the best time for Vitamin D, but not tanning.
When my husband who suffers from SAD went to Florida one winter, he did get burned, but it was his first winter without depression, which low D can cause.

it also depend on your natural defenses ..melenin pigment. if you are very fair skin, then your probability will be much higher. one thing that i also found out was that mediterranean, african, latin american people have less osteoparosis because vitamin d3 is a vehicle for calcium to be absorbed by bones more efficiently.

Well, I also take Selenium before allowing the Vitamin D to work. One atom of Selenium will bind with one atom of mercury that has been stored in our brains via shots/vaccines given to us over a lifetime. Mercury causes thyroid problems, gray hair, sterilization, cancer, etc. I’ve been cured of my own physical problems by taking vitamins.

Wrong. Fair people actually produce vitamin d more readily due to the fact that they ARE fair. Melanin gets in the way of making enough vitamin d. This is the reason that darker skinned people suffer from lower levels of vit d, and the consequent later life diseases, when they live in the more northerly latitudes. White people evolved a lack of pigment to better take advantage of less sun in northern Europe. Osteoporosis is more complex than just sun exposure..also sex, diet, frame, smoking etc.

danmarino 1970, I am responding to your comment. Latin American people have less osteoporosis because they live closer to the equator not because they are dark. Melanin is protective but also means that darker people actually need MORE sun to meet their vit. d requirements. Darker people have LOWER blood levels of vit. d when they move north. Low serum vit. d is epidemic in African Americans and they suffer from more high bp, diabetes, prostate and breast cancer etc. than less pigmented whites.

What people need to know is that total body exposure is the best form of acquiring the benefits of vitamin d3. If on a sunny day you cover your torso, or at least 50% of your body with clothing or “sunblock” you are not reaping the benefits. (FYI) sunblock contains aluminum (very toxic) and does not let in UVB (good rays). Supplement in the summer as well.

Thank you for being relatively respectful to a different perspective. I have spoken to people that have been on cruises in a certain areas off of Australia. They told me that they were told that they were in an ozone depleted area and to stay under cover. Listen, I believe that a little very early morning and late afternoon sun may be good for my psyche but I still feel that the Vitamin D created is not as important as the risk to “me”. I speak only for myself.
