Dr. Angus Dalgleish, a leader in British oncology and cancer research at St. George\u2019s University in London, wrote in The Daily Mail today that sun scare campaigns have caused massive vitamin D deficiency and that he counsels patients to get regular UV exposure in a non-burning fashion to make vitamin D the natural way. \u201cNow I believe that rather than reducing the risk of skin cancer, following...sun-avoidance guidelines could actually raise it,\u201d Dalgleish wrote. \u201cThat\u2019s because we need sun on our skin to make vitamin D \u2014 ironically these campaigns may have made millions chronically short of it and put them at risk.

That\u2019s because we need sun on our skin to make vitamin D \u2014 ironically these campaigns may have made millions chronically short of it and put them at risk. \u201cThe sun\u2019s effects might even protect against melanoma,\u201d Dalgleish wrote. Dalgleish joins British oncologist Dr. Timothy Oliver, who wrote an essay in 2009 in The Daily Mail that sun-deprived people should seek sunbed sessions in the winter to raise their vitamin D status.
