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. 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.

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. marinello, I also got sun poisoning visiting Florida, I never went again in the

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.

Vitamin D does provide 1 of 3 cures for the Swine Flu. 2 of 3 is L-Lysine. You'll have to research 3 of 3: that's for me to know and for you to find out.

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.

Depends where you are and in what season since sun rays vary. I am no sun lover, but so long as you aren't burning, it isn't a problem. But you will get D at noon whether you burn or not (not burning is better.) 20+ minutes toxic? Depends where you are and in what season since sun rays vary.
