Here’s a question. If this finding is true, do very fair skinned people like redheads have a lower rate of colon cancer? Fair skinned people produce much more vitamin D from sunlight than dark skinned people do so it would seem the fairer skinned people would, on average, have a lower rate of colon cancer just as they have a higher rate of skin cancer.

I doubt it. I am very fair skinned and get get vitamin D in a prescription form because I am severely deficient and unable to process it properly. This week I take one 10,000id once a day and after that will take 2 per week to try to keep my levels up to normal.

Before beginning to read about his stuff I'd have said I've received ample sunlight for most of my life. Now, having thought about how much beneficial sunlight there is and how much I've actually received, I would say that I haven't gotten enough beneficial sunlight. With a bit more thought I'd say that's true of most people.
