Sunshine on Me

The New Scientist today pours a certain amount of scientific correctness on all those Skin Cancer Faschists, who believe that the great atomic power station is always bad.

I am old enough to remember pictures in science books of children gathered round a UV lamp getting their dose of vitamin D. Which is like it has always been! Good for you! (Vitamin D that is!)

It does seem now that a few minutes in the sun each day can prevent other cancers. I would also add that it makes you feel better and less likely to be suicidal.

Has anybody ever thought that there is no money in promoting a few minutes of sunshine, but masses to be made from companies advocating sun screen!
