According to Dr Michael Holick of the Boston University School of Medicine and America's leading expert on vitamin D, the scare tactics of international health leaders about the potential hazards of sun exposure have gone too far. Their exaggerated warnings about the sun's harmful effects have led to public misconceptions that is threatening our overall health. As a result, we are in the midst of a 'silent epidemic' of vitamin D deficiency in the West that has widespread repercussions.
With THE UV ADVANTAGE, Dr Holick is the first highly credentialed doctor to author a book that proclaims the clinically demonstrated benefits of sensible sun exposure on bone, cellular, organ, autoimmune and mood-related health. Drawing on the findings of more than 120 peer-reviewed medical studies, he offers compelling evidence that moderate exposure to either natural or artificial UV light, several times a week - before applying sunscreen - will satisfy the body's vitamin D requirement, without damaging the skin.
