Seems the general consensus is that sunlight (which increases Vitamin D levels in the body) prevents some types of cancer, but causes others.

The solution, probably, is moderation of sunlight, like many of us get now.

Tan or not to tan seems to be a dilemma. Just like salt and hypertension the Dr’s can’t seem to agree your body needs the salt, now they’ll have to fight over the affects of the sun. It’s just like the saying I learned in the 8th grade, “The over abundance of any one substance will cause an adverse reaction.” So go get some sun and you can get your daily allotment of salt from the Margarita, But remember only in moderation, at lest the sun part.

And moderation means different things to different people. I am an active person who enjoys being outdoors, but I have to plan my activities around the less intense parts of the day or shade as I burn vary easily. My wife could do the same as I and you wouldn't know she had gotten much sun at all.
