Yes but the risk of cancer from short bursts of sunlight are still very low compared to sunbathing. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

You'd need to stand outside for all of the winter to get 30 mins of sun in the uk

It's 30 mins of UVB and you only really get that during the summer months. Sunscreen blocks this so you can't make vitamin D. There's a consensus that you cannot get enough from diet alone and that everyone requires supplementation. How true this is, I don't know. I do recall as a child that things like margarine were fortified with vitamin D.

Or stay in the sun for 30 minutes before putting cream on.

Does vitamin D affect the immune system? I get hives and contact allergy but when I spent 2 weeks in France in the sun it just went away.

I go out without the sunscreen and try and limit my exposure to small doses. So if you are out and about all day it could limit the risks. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.
