Myths about sunlight and Vitamin D.

Suggestion.

A greater emphasis should be placed on the need for vitamin D supplements during the winter months in the northern hemisphere. (I might expect the same in the southern hemisphere)

In reading a haelth magazine I came across two views.

One by a PHD, suggested that "because of less light during winter" vitamin D was required.

Well that is wrong. Yes there is less light during winter, but the real problem is that all light during October and March in teh North, ie above 40th parallel has no UV B. In the same article another scientist stated exactly that.

I was falsely educated to believe that the problem in winter is the lack of sunlight, or 'adequate' sunlight. Two types of half-truths that disguise the actual truth of the matter.

This is a far greater problem than we realize and some government agencies are becoming aware of.
