				Exposure to sun stimulates production of certain hormones underneath the  human skin. The Ultraviolet B rays react with a certain variety of  cholesterol in the skin triggering organs like liver and kidneys to  produce vitamin D3, which in fact is not a vitamin but a king of steroid  that boosts the human immune system. <br />
<br />
It inhibits the growth of  malignant cells and also motivates the digestive tract to absorb more  calcium and hinders angiogenesis that aids growth of cancerous cells.  Vitamin D3 also stops formation of blood vessels that aid cancer thus  effectively curbing the malignancy of any tumors.

				It is a cause of grave concern that most sunscreens lotions used today  block the Ultraviolet B rays thus inhibiting the formation of Vitamin  D3. <br />
<br />
What the human race needs to realize today is that the harm done by  sun is far less compared to the goodness that comes from its radiation.  <br />
<br />
Exposure to sun benefits people having prostrate, ovarian, breast or  colon cancer, osteoporosis, heart ailments and multiple sclerosis. <br />
<br />
If  one can imagine statistically, people dying from the any of the above  diseases are far more then people effected by skin cancer. <br />
<br />
Moreover,  exposure to sun is more beneficial than detrimental as per the past 5  decades of medical research.

<b>Abstract</b><br />
<br />
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem, but little is known about the vitamin D status of Canadians.<br />
<br />
<br />
DATA AND METHODS: The  data are from the 2007 to 2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey, which  collected blood samples. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, means)  were used to estimate 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations among  a sample of 5,306 individuals aged 6 to 79 years, representing 28.2  million Canadians from all regions, by age group, sex, racial  background, month of blood collection, and frequency of milk  consumption. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The prevalence of deficiency and the percentages of the  population meeting different cut-off concentrations were assessed.<br />
<br />
<br />
RESULTS: The  mean concentration of 25(OH)D for the Canadian population aged 6 to 79  years was 67.7 nmol/L. The mean was lowest among men aged 20 to 39 years  (60.7 nmol/L) and highest among boys aged 6 to 11 (76.8 nmol/L). <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Deficiency (less than 27.5 nmol/L) was detected in 4% of the population.  However, 10% of Canadians had concentrations considered inadequate for  bone health (less than 37.5 nmol/L) according to 1997 Institute of  Medicine (IOM) Standards (currently under review). <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Concentrations  measured in November-March were below those measured in April-October.  White racial background and frequent milk consumption were significantly  associated with higher concentrations.<br />
<br />
<br />
INTERPRETATION: As  measured by plasma 25(OH)D, 4% of Canadians aged 6 to 79 years were  vitamin D-deficient, according to 1997 IOM standards (currently under  review). <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Based on these standards, 10% of the population had inadequate  concentrations for bone health.<br />

</font></b><font size="1"><font face="Arial">&quot;In general, 5 to 10 minutes a day between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. <br />
with minimal clothing is considered good.&quot; <br />
<br />
This advise works with qualifications. You can make ~2300 IU of Vitamin D IF:<br />
<br />
A) 10 minutes Full Exposure Face Up (or Down) in bikini or boxers 45% exp. <br />
B) You are Skin Type (ST) 2 with no previous sun exposure<br />
C) Location is 42° N Lat Clear Skies August 13th +/- 2 days @ 12 Noon<br />
D) Almost forgot. You are 20 years old.<br />
<br />
ST 3's can make ~1400 IU is same time frame. 17 min to 2300 IU<br />
ST 4's can make ~1000 IU is same time frame. 22 min to 2300 IU<br />
ST 5's can make   ~600 IU is same time frame. 37 min to 2300 IU<br />
ST 6's can make   ~400 IU is same time frame. 55 min to 2300 IU<br />
<br />
Every 25% &quot;Base Tan&quot; reduces Vitamin D production 25%<br />
Every 10 Years  reduces Vitamin D production by 10%<br />
Every Hour Before or After Noon reduces totals by 20%<br />

				Among African Americans, melanomas occur mainly on body sites that are not pigmented, such as the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, and the skin beneath the nails. Other sites at which melanomas occur relatively often in African Americans are the mucous membranes of the mouth, nasal passages, and genitals.

	</table>
</div>So of the 65,000 or so melanomas that are supposedly going to be diagnosed this year, how many of them exist on skin types that are resilient against sunburning or in areas that never receive sun.  I'll bet my life there's no such statistic that makes this distinction.<br />
<br />
Instead of defending our stance that UV produces vitamin d and must be good for you, maybe we should go on the offensive and dispute the claims of these so called medical professionals.  If for no other reason than to plant a seed of doubt in our clients minds.</div>
