There is also a new study out that says sunshine prevents skin cancer. (I'm not kidding.) So there.

Yep, there's really no absolutes in the world.

Some sunshine = better chance of adequate vitamin D intake = reduced cancer risk.

Too much sunshine = increased skin cancer risk.

It's like riding a unicycle... :)

It didn't say that. The article said the vitamin D from sunlight helped prevent fatal cancers. Skin cancer is normally not fatal. They weighed getting skin cancer versus preventing fatal cancers.

I know about the sun and skin cancer thing. Heard of a lecture on it (don't remember where) a doctor was stating that the best thing everyone can have is one hour of natural sunlight per day.
