Wow! Rickets or Skin Cancer. What a great choice.
False choice
With careful selection of clothing like cotton shirts and pants, light fabrics, one can easily go out in the sun for many hours and enjoy yourself.
Sure you put sun screen on areas that are in direct sunlight like your face or neck wear a hat as well
Nope, a false choice.
A paper published in March 2007 by Demay, Sabbagh and Carpenter Calcium and vitamin d: what is known about the effects on growing bone, should finally put the vitamin-D deficiency rickets myth to bed. The Demay group found that the metabolic cause of rickets is hypophosphatemia.
Any amount of calcium, in the absence of the correct amount of phosphorous, does not prevent or cure rickets. Neither does Vitamin D. Here is another paper confirming that: Hypophosphatemia leads to rickets by impairing caspase-mediated apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes.
And from yet another source: This webpage at the US Dept of Agriculture says Rickets "is not due to vitamin D deficiency but is caused by not having enough calcium in the diet."
“Wow! Rickets or Skin Cancer. What a great choice.”
No one gets out of here alive.
