don’t all look
like this.
Some of them look
more like this
He has campaigned tirelessly for the health benefits
of sunshine to be recognized and he now believes that low vitamin D levels may
be linked to a rise in a whole range of ‘modern’ diseases.
That’s why he is calling for all pregnant women to be
given free vitamin D supplements.
He says:
‘As a scientist and
writer, I first realised the significance of vitamin D for prevention of
ill-health some 12 years ago, at a time when it was only recognised as
important for bone growth. I have researched and written extensively on the
topic, including a report on the health benefits of sunlight - this at a time
when official advice was to avoid the sun at all costs, especially when the sun
is at its highest.
‘My belief is that we could go much
further – that vitamin D, given freely to all women in pregnancy, could be used
to curb or prevent some major diseases including multiple sclerosis, diabetes,
schizophrenia, asthma and several cancers; and that it might also be used to
treat established disease, at least in early stages.’

It makes sense to me.
