MedHead Message:

Sunshine provides more than just vitamin D. Sunshine exposure is significantly correlated to cancer death outcomes. These aren’t seen in just replacing vitamin D. Sunshine provides so much more for our health. Get some sun every day if you can. Yes too much sun exposure can cause skin cancer. But your chance of dying from any cancer goes down substantially.
