So, slathering up with sun screen will cause cancer. Your body can’t make vitamin D without sunshine on your skin.

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that all the scaremongering about sun exposure is tragically exposing people to a higher risk of cancer (and other health problems associated with lack of vitamin D).

There is irony here in that for many years, the conventional wisdom dictated that the opposite was true: That you would risk cancer by exposing yourself to the sun. Some people are so fearful of the sun as a result of these scare tactics that they slather on sunscreen even on cloudy days!

Now obviously nobody is advocating that it is okay to lie out in the sun all day and burn your body to a crisp. But it is unnecessary for most people to use sunscreen when they are outdoors engaging in normal activity. In fact, the only time I ever use sunscreen is when I'm spending a day at the beach.

I eat at least one and usually 2-3 eight oz. containers of yogurt a day. This also is very healthy for you and helps to keep the weight down.
