We may have got it wrong about sun exposure, cancer group admits
16 July 2010
Cancer support groups are beginning to recognise they may have gone too far
with their advice to avoid sunshine. Because of stark warnings about skin
cancer, adults have stayed out of the sun and almost all are now deficient
in vitamin D. The sun is the primary source of the vitamin, and almost every
week new research is demonstrating its importance in maintaining health. In
the past couple of weeks, for example, researchers have found that people
with high levels of vitamin D are much less likely to suffer cognitive
decline. The vitamin is also a safeguard against Parkinsons disease,
cancer, heart disease and type II diabetes. However, anything between 40 per
cent and 100 per cent of adults tested have been deficient in the vitamin
and now cancer groups believe they may have a part to play in this mass
nutritional lack. Cancer Research
soon suggest that people should get some exposure to the midday sun. Its
current advice is to avoid the sun between 11am and 3pm, wear clothing, and
to put on a sunscreen. But, in behind-the-scenes meetings, the charity is
considering a new position paper that recommends people have little and
often exposure to the midday sun. The body gets vitamin D from the sun when
the skin reddens without getting burned, and this can usually be achieved
within 15 to 30 minutes outdoors without sunscreen on a hot sunny day.
