Vitamin D is not going to save your bones alone and you can get it from a supplement. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

How do you go from it being needed to “it’s not going to save your bones alone”? Try reading.

They aren’t the ones getting the cancer. It’s office workers on vacation that get it. Maybe the science should look into it.


Those who labor in the sun every day get very tanned or have more skin pigment (melanin) to begin with. That melanin is protective to a large extent. But office workers with lighter skin and who are only in the sun on lunch break or weekends are more vulnerable and need to cover up or wear sunscreen in the sun.

I personally only use sunscreen when exposed to sun, I would not leave sunscreen on indoors as some do.


If you’re sitting in a sunny office next to windows, you’re getting UVA radiation.


My dermatologist is always on about that. She’s always reminds me to put on sunscreen when I get into the car, sit near a window, etc.

It’s also ok for a lot of people to die. There are too many people in the world as it is.

They don’t want sunscreen or pasteurized milk then leave them be. The great thing about MAGA is they don’t care what you do. Democrats are always worried what MAGA is doing though, God forbid they don’t think the same as you.

Same. And I live on the beach. Fair skinned and never been burned. I’m just careful how much I allow myself.

The percentage of Americans with Vitamin D deficiency is astronomical. Educate yourselves, people.


The amount of vitamin d you can get from the sun depends on your latitude. So you can be out in the sun all day and be vitamin d deficient depending on where you live.

My grandad was a farmer who lost an eye and part of his scalp to melanoma.

Well, the dumb will die off, killed by preventable diseases. Oh well.


You hope this happens, yet the dumb always manage to survive.

I’ve had chronically low Vitamin D and even when I supplement it’s at the bottom level of normal. I used to teach at a daycare and was outside a couple of hours a day with only spf15 in my morning face lotion and I was still vitamin d deficient. I think it’s more of a nutritional factor


Meaning our food supply is deficient, not that I’m a junk food junky

I think you're supposed to wear spf shirts and rash guards instead. Hats. I think everyone should be wearing rash guards at the pool and beach. Especially men. It's a lot to make sure you sunscreen your whole back and chest.

I definitely put sunscreen on my kids when needed, but I do think it's can be a lot of chemicals. It's much better to avoid the sun in the first place. Fair skinned people have always known this.
