The Early Show regarding Vit D

Alarm Bells Over Vitamin D Levels in Kids - The Early Show - CBS News?

I heard bits and pieces of this while getting ready for work this morning. The link above takes you to the topic on CBS The Early Show.

The lady gave the different ways of getting Vit D but what really stuck to me was that she said if you want to get your Vit D the natural way go out in the sun without sunscreen 10-15 mins. a few times a week.

I found this to be a positive statement.

From that article...

WHAT ABOUT SUNSCREEN AND LOWER AMTS OF VITAMIN D: IS THERE A CONNECTION?

Kumar told CBS News it's "hard to say," noting "We didn't have data on sunscreen in our study, but we know that sunscreen levels have gone up and vitamin D has gone down. I'm sure they're related. For parents, they need to know their kid's skin: If they get red after 10 minutes, don't forgo sunscreen. But if they can withstand sun without getting burned or damaging their skin too much, let them play a little bit without the sunscreen, then apply it. The body was meant to get vitamin D from the sun.
