Vitamin D - to tan or not to tan, that is the question (7/5/2008)
The past couple days, Editrix Jenni has been trying to get at least 15 minutes a day of un-sunscreened sun time to facilitate her body in making a healthy amount of Vitamin D. But this article in the Washington Post about recent Vitamin D research makes us wonder what's healthy. Jury's still out, Babes. Ask your health care providers for more guidance before baking outside...
