Pretty good news! But also I think this study tells us that people are infact staying in doors more then they should! Our levels of vitamin D are likely really low in general otherwise we wouldn't see that much of a diference.

I bet the supplement industry is going to be splashing this study all over the internet for the next few months.

I go to the dermatologist and get told to avoid the sun. I follow their advice and then go to my GP. He said vit-D is low so I supplement.

It feels like a failure of communication, but who knows. I only see one Dr at a time.

I don't see how being in the sun could be bad for us. We've been doing it for as long as we've existed and every other form of life does it as well. Anecdotally, I feel amazing when I'm sunbathing and I feel terrible during winter when there's less sun. The only explanation I can come up with is that modern people are somehow uniquely sick so their bodies can't do what every other organism has done for billions of years.

I think there's quite large gap between vitamin D deficiency cause you don't get any sunlight and getting so much sunlight that it's unhealthy.

I'm outside a lot, but I'm in a less sunny climate than my ancestors and have a vitamin D deficiency all year round
