The UV Advantage, by Michael Holick & Mark Jenkins, from Pocket Books, ISBN 0743486471. According to Dr. Holick, the nation's leading expert on Vitamin D, national health leaders have exaggerated the potential hazard of sun exposure. As a result, the U.S. is in the midst of a "silent epidemic" of Vitamin D deficiency. Holick's research indicates that sun-derived Vitamin D is one of the body's best defenses against Type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease and certain cancers. Most importantly, he includes his recommendations for safe, moderate, unprotected sun exposure.
