Man needs sunlight to make vitamin D and that includes tanning beds. The media should be more careful with the nonsense they spread about skin cancer. They always pick the cases of people who spent too much time lying in the sun and those who want to look tanned and beautiful as those girls in the magazines.
If doctors and media want to boost fear, they are doing well. Mothers put sunscreen on their children from head to toe and no one dares even to come out at noon. That's just the time we convert sunshine into vitamin D.
If you want to protect yourself against disease and depression, spend regularly an hour in the sun with 40% body of your body uncovered. If the weather doesn't permit to enjoy the sun, consider the tanning bed! They offer the ideal conditions and produce the same result.
