Imagine that! the 'experts' are discovering that Vit D in necc. to good health.
I have been writing about this for decades -
Used to be, back when I was little and when I was raising my own kids, the watch-word was "at least 2 hours of fresh air and sunshine a day." And my kids were bundled up and out, even in winter.
One day, I will be vindicated in my protestations that the increase in skin cancer these past 30 years has a direct correlation with the chemical ridden sun-screens and a chemical reaction with the sun.
Vit. D in tab form is a good idea, especially in the long winter months when people go to work in the dark and come home in the dark...but actual sunshine is the optimum for good health, both physically and mentally.
My rule of thumb is to trust The Creator. He created us and everything we would need for a healthy life.
When man decides he knows better, we reap the consequences.
It's amusing, to me, that the medical field is slowly admitting that we need sunshine - and is upping the time we should spend in it.
Myself, I have a series of Burma Shave type warning signs down my long, forest lined driveway. They say: "TOOT" "OR" "Con-see" "quences"...because I have my chaise lounge and my hammock - and my tan without tan lines.
People have learned to toot.
