> Vitamin D, which helps bones absorb calcium, is activated by sunlight. This is a misstatement. Vitamin D does help bones absorb calcium. What sunlight does is help the body MAKE vitamin D from precursor molecules. If you have sufficient Vitamin D in your diet, you can live without sunlight at all (see Inuit populations in the Arctic, for example). Vitamin D in the diet is not further affected by sunlight.
