Wow, that is surprising.
Even Australia, a country with high skin cancer rates and high public health campaigns to reduce it recommends people get Vitamin D from the sun (although in limited amounts in summer):

- rainonmoon 2y agoThe wind is shifting on this one. For example: https://www.health.gov.au/ministers/the-hon-mark-butler-mp/media/breaking-australias-suntanning-obsession https://www.health.gov.au/ministers/the-hon-mark-butler-mp/m... I caught some free-to-air TV recently and they're running ads that make the sun sound as dangerous as cigarettes. Scenes of folks all like "I thought I'd just have a bit of a garden. Then I got skin cancer." It's a big push to change attitudes for a historically sun-loving country.
