Yes but what it doesn’t say is that you get a sufficient amount of Vitamin C in just a few minutes each day (like walking to your car or across the parking lot). Sunbathing for hours isn’t necessary to obtain it.

I am a massage practitioner and an aesthetician and believe me, sun damage to the human body isn’t pretty. And it *will* age your skin because it breaks down the collagen and elastin fibers beneath the skin, the things that give skin a youthful, smooth appearance. There’s even a difference between skin that has sunned and skin that has tanned in a bed (with the sunbed skin being *really* bad). Reports like this are going to cause people to justify baking themselves. And then we have the whole melanoma thing and that’s another whole ballgame altogether.

I seriously doubt that, especially in northerly regions where people wear lots of clothes and sunlight is less intense, esp. in the winter. The ancestors of those of us who are honkies had to evolve pale skins to increase the effects of limited solar input in their boreal habitat, even though they were outdoors more than most people are today.

Sorry, is that "C" or "D"?

If it were that easy there shouldn’t be widespread deficiencies.
