Another recommendation to get plenty of sunshine–to PREVENT melanoma!

By: Marc Sorenson, Sunlight Institute–

In this excellent article, Dr. Charles  Reinert tells about how his mother  contracted melanoma on her chest (an area where she seldom was exposed to sunlight) and died of the disease shortly thereafter. He makes the point, as I have done repeatedly, that regular sunlight exposure is associated with a decreased risk of melanoma. He also lists several additional diseases that increase with decreased sunlight exposure. An excellent read.

Another study has just been released that adds more evidence that sunlight exposure, far from being a carcinogen, reduces the risk of cancer. This time, sunlight exposure is shown to associate with a lowered risk of pancreatic cancer, one of the most deadly. Bit by bit, the falsehoods being promulgated by the sunscare movement are exposed to the public. This is an excellent read!

Lack of vitamin D may explain excessive cancer deaths in black Americans

By:  Marc Sorenson, Sunlight Institute–

It is a well-known fact that African Americans have an excess of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, etc. when compared to other races in the U.S. A new paper makes a compelling case that the excess of cancer deaths may be due to vitamin D deficiency, since it takes much more sun exposure in blacks, compared to whites, to produce optimal vitamin D levels.

By: Marc Sorenson, Sunlight Institute–

More praise for the tomato! New research from the UK shows that  the consumption of tomato paste dramatically reduces skin damage from sunlight. I have written previously that vegetables and fruits helped protect the skin from sun damage. This is the second study that mentioned the effects of tomato past per se. A very interesting read.
