Optimised supply of vitamin D prevents dental cavities
909 Rhee-de Vries-Coebergh Sunlight, vitamin D and cancer prevention a systemic reviewNewsflash - Scientific Update - Friday 3th Feb. 2012 [!]
Breast cancer and vit D -Shao
Quote: These recommendations ( 600-800 IU/day)presume some sunlight exposure and vitamin D intake from food, but are not adequate to treat vitamin D deficiency Unquote. This study reports on e.g. a search for the optimal Vit D dose to prevent breast cancer. It might be that taking the sunshine vitamin D from its natural source, the sun, could lead automatically to the optimal vitamin D level, since UV induced vitamin D is self regulated by the body. Quote: These recommendations…
cancer and UV exposure - Grant
This review found strong inverse correlations with solar UVB for 15 types of cancer: bladder, breast, cervical, colon, endometrial, esophageal, gastric, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, rectal, renal, and vulvar cancer; and Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Immune system stimulated by UV exposure - Becklund
These results suggest that UVR is likely suppressing disease independent of vitamin D production, and that vitamin D supplementation alone may not replace the ability of sunlight to reduce MS susceptibility UV radiation suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis independent of vitamin D production.

Melanoma epidemic?
Quote: These authors argue that for the melanoma epidemic to be a true phenomenon, one must assume that the effects of early diagnosis and better treatment for melanoma gradually and steadily improved during the study period (1986–2001), thereby counterbalancing the effect of increased disease burden. In contrast, if the epidemic were real and treatment improved but lagged, a more identifiable increase in mortality would be apparent. Unquote
Melanoma incedense Glusac
Quote: It is reasonable to conclude that the apparent melanoma epidemic is a result of previous under diagnosis and current over diagnosis of melanoma. While the previous under diagnosis of melanoma was not a problem, the current over diagnosis of it is. Unquote, and Quote: ‘the ultimate proof of diagnosis is recurrence, metastasis and death. In other words, in equivocal cases diagnosis of a nevus can never be proven right, and a diagnosis of melanoma never wrong. This alone is…
melanoma prevention by UV exp - Flach
This is a very important paper as it may explain why chronically-exposed skin has a reduced risk of melanoma - it is harder for tumors to recruit fibroblasts when elastosis occurs. Fibroblasts contribute to melanoma tumor growth and drug resistance. Flach EH, Rebecca VW, Herlyn M, Smalley KS, Anderson AR. Integrated Mathematical Oncology, Moffitt Research Institute, Tampa, Florida, United States.

Press Release 09.08.2011 - Optimised supply of vitamin D prevents dental cavities
A study proves that the sunshine vitamin encourages the production of antimicrobial
peptides
Veldhoven, 9 August 2011 (SRF) The risk of developing cavities can be significantly reduced
through the optimised supply of vitamin D. A vitamin D level of at least 30 nanogrammes per millilitre of blood (30 ng/ml) encourages the body to produce its own anti-microbial peptides, including cathelicidins and defensins, which inhibit cavity pathogens. This was the result of a study carried out by William B. Grant, one of the best known experts worldwide in the field of vitamin D research, and presented in the professional journal “Dermato-Endocrinology“.
The Scientific Advisory Board of the Dutch Health Council Backs Moderate Sunbed Use
Health Council of the Netherlands - Advisory letter UV radiation and sunbeds
http://www.gezondheidsraad.nl/en/publications/advisory-letter-uv-radiation-and-sunbeds
The aim of The Sunlight Research Forum is to help bring to the fore, the latest medical and scientific information on the effects of moderate UV exposure on man. It takes time, often decades, for new scientific ideas to be accepted and assimilated, first into the general body of scientific knowledge and finally into policy. We want to reduce this time to a minimum so that the benefits of research can lead to a better understanding of UV effects on man and will become available to the public without any unnecessary delay. We hope to provide policy makers with correct information on which to base national health policy and individuals with better information on which to base choices about their lifestyles.
New research and well founded ideas on moderate UV exposure both indoor and outdoor will be presented and discussed in the Sunlight Research Forum by people working in the health disciplines, by academics and by journalists. Reports will be published on this website and when possible, in a hard copy format for free distribution free to the media and to libraries.
The Sunlight Research Forum is a not-for-profit organisation based in The Netherlands. Main site: www.sunlightresearchforum.eu
