Oliver Gillie \u2014 author of several comprehensive reports on sunlight and vitamin D \u2014 appeared in a prominent article in The Herald this week headlined, \"Bring Me Sunshine...and Health.\" \"In September Oliver Gillie wrote Scotland's Health Deficit: An Explanation and a Plan, claiming that lack of sunlight could be contributing to health problems in the nation,\" the Herald reported. \"His report argued that being deprived of daylight \u2014 and the vitamin D which it helps the body make - could contribute to a range of conditions including depression, cancer and multiple sclerosis.\" The story continued, \"Now Gillie says cancer charities have been 'embarrassed' by the unforeseen impact of their advice to cover up in the sun \u2014 which has led to soaring rates of vitamin D deficiency. Messages have included the suggestion that there is 'no such thing as a healthy tan', which Gillie says is misguided and unfounded in science.\" Gillie's reports are linked to Smart Tan's consumer web site, www.TanningTruth.com.
