Dermatologist Says Risk Of Skin Cancer Is Greater Than Risk Of Low Vitamin D.

reports a controversial study published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association “asserted that sunscreen use is partially to blame for widespread vitamin D deficiency worldwide.” But, Dr. Victoria Werth, a professor of dermatology and medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, said, “I think we are too worried about vitamin D. The risk of skin cancer is so much greater than low vitamin D.” Werth added, “It’s really important to put everything that’s said about the sun in perspective to the fact that we are seeing a lot of skin cancers that are really terrible.” http://time.com/5273230/sunscreen-vitamin-d-deficiency/
