Effects of teh Sun
");
document.write("What absolute rubbish and such a dangerous mix of half truths, old wives tales and uninformed comment. People are dying from Vitamin D deficiences based on nonsense such as this being published in the media. The body needs sunlight to make vitamin D - it cannot do it through layers Zinc Oxide and sun blockers. The best time to top up the system is in fact during that so called no go period of a few hours each side of mid-day.
The KEY issue here is that, as with almost any type of behaviour, too much really is bad for you. But to go from baking all day to covering up and getting no exposure are two sided of an equally dangerous coin. Come on folks - try to help people with your articles - not kill them off by using old pseudo science combined with modern sensationalism. Jan");

document.write("Yeah right Jan, like we're going to have that here.
Check the texture and colour of your skin on the inside of your arms sometime, in comparison with the skin on the top of your hands. If you don't see a real difference you must live permanently in an igloo or something. Sun is the most aging thing for one's skin, and can sometimes be fatal!
For the Vitamin D thing, you only need about 5 minutes in sunlight each day and it needn't be at midday either .... Blondie");

document.write("I agree with this article, i have just turned 29 and was recently diagnosed with an agressive melanoma. This was largely due to the fact that i spent hours of my teen years in the sun, with no sun protection at all.
I had the melanoma removed and found out i caught it just in time as it hadn't spread to my lymph - but a month or two later and who knows what could have happened. So above and beyond wearing sunscreen, have your moles checked by a dermatologist annually. And always always wear suncream!. Nicky");
