I don’t know specifically about Vit D
derived from using tanning beds, but I
do know they have been criticized by health
professionals for their potential for
skin cancer.

I think artificial tanning is stupid. If people got outdoors in the sun and did some exercise like walking for the same period of time they are getting cooked in a “salon”, they would be much better off. I was just reading that minimal easy exercise dramatically reduces the incidence and severity of glaucoma, of all things. There are almost no side effects to moderate exercise, unlike drugs and other artificial things.
