While there is some evidence that exposure to sunlight may increase levels of Vitamin D, overexposure to the sun still increases a person's risk of skin damage. Moderate exposure to the sun is a good rule to live by when considering the risk of skin cancer from UV rays. My dermatologist recommended that I visit this site for more information on skin cancer and its possible causes.

Dr Benabio,

Have you read Dr. Bernard Ackerman’s new book called “The Sun and the “Epidemic” of Melanoma: Myth on Myth!”

If yes, what is your opinion of his assertions. I have not read the book, but find his views very interesting and controversial.

That was really good. I’ve had melanoma twice and my doctor and I discussed the same conflicting information.
