I just had to post this good news about sunshine. Gosh, didn't we know this all along!! Amazing how the world of health and science tries to tell us one thing and then finds out that 'maybe they were wrong". Just a little piece copied here for your interest. >>"Many people aren't getting enough vitamin D. It's hard to do from food and fortified milk alone, and supplements are problematic. So the thinking is this: Even if too much sun leads to skin cancer, which is rarely deadly, too little sun may be worse. No one is suggesting that people fry on a beach. But many scientists believe that "safe sun" — 15 minutes or so a few times a week without sunscreen — is not only possible but helpful to health."<< >>"... research suggests that vitamin D might help prevent 30 deaths for each one caused by skin cancer."<< http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/sunshine___cancer Cheryl Marian *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
