I'm highly skeptical of most "new studies," so I'm not putting a lot of weight into this yet, but several studies are showing that vitamin D, the vitamin your skin creates when exposed to sunshine, helps prevent and treat cancer. Early studies are never strong enough to bet your life on, but at the same time, I love it when arrogant scientists are forced to admit that they were wrong, and I'd love it if this were one of those instances. After all, we've been told that the sun is terrible for us for years; as it turns out, we may need some of that exposure to the sun.
I guess it just goes to prove that old adage, everything in moderation.
