Sunlight considered dangerous. To your career.

In a statement to The Scientist, Boni E. Elewski, president of the American Academy of Dermatology, argued that even a few minutes of sunlight exposure can be dangerous[1], and people can get what they need of the vitamin through supplements. "Any group, organization, or individual that disseminates information encouraging exposure to UV radiation, whether natural or artificial, is doing a disservice to the public," Elewski said. story This excerpt is from an article about a vitamin-D researcher being sacked for saying a bit of sunlight is good for you. Is Boni E. Elewski an utter moron, or a vampire? Or was this quote taken out of context? Since when did exposure to sunlight, especially in winter, become bad for your health? Now we're all supposed to pop a pill instead of having a walk in the park. How did mankind survive the aeons before factor-99 sunblock came to market? [1] My emphasis 3:54:50 PM
