<p>Very strange article. Sometimes common sense is more valuable than published research. Perhaps in this day it always is. Man was made to live outdoors, under the sun. The body does not produce vitamin D without it and the endorphins which are produced as a result of sun exposure were designed in such a way by the Creator so that mankind would recognize the body's need for that light, just as satiation of hunger tells the body that sustenance has been taken an it is good.

<p>Very strange article. Sometimes common sense is more valuable than published research. Perhaps in this day it always is. Man was made to live outdoors, under the sun. The body does not produce vitamin D without it and the endorphins which are produced as a result of sun exposure were designed in such a way by the Creator so that mankind would recognize the body's need for that light, just as satiation of hunger tells the body that sustenance has been taken an it is good. A lack of sunlight has drastic negative effects on the brain's chemistry including depression and cognitive dysfunction.<br/><br/>Tanning beds do not have the same effect, as the light spectrum is limited and the full spectrum which comes only from natural light is needed for the synthesis of vitamin D and subsequent hormone production.<br/><br/>Skin cancer is found as often in very dark skinned people as very light skinned people and the higher instances of those dark skinned people getting skin cancer occurs in northern latitudes where the sunlight is weaker. This would point to the fact that skin cancer is related to a lack of vitamin D production.<br/><br/>While light skinned people exposing themselves to the sun until their skin burns can result in temporary damage, and a lifetime of intentional over-exposure can cause chronically dry and damaged skin, normal exosure to the sunlight is critical for the health of people of all skin tones.<br/><br/>It is ironic that such a view would come from the scientific community which is avidly athiestic and believers in evolution. If their claims about sunlight were correct then their evolutionary theory fails as well, because humans would have naturally evolved as a nocturnal species rather than a diurnal species if sunlight were "toxic" to them.</p>

<p>This, along with many other published health theories from the scientific community are aimed at promoting habits which will interfere with health, not benefit it. It is, and has always been the direct agenda of this group to promote chronic states of disease which continually need treatment, providing a customer base for doctors and drug makers.</p>
