The only link I can think of is that we treat jaundice with light therapy, and we used to put babies on a sunny verandah before the days of bili lights - some still suggest this as an option for mild jaundice. As I understand it, it's the UV rays (correct me if I'm wrong) in the bili lights that breakdown the bilirubin. Knowing that we 'get' Vit D from sunshine as well, perhaps someone has put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5. ie it's the Vit D that breaks down bilirubin. Is this too simplistic?
