UV rays should not be considered harmful de-facto!

Overexposure to UV rays is what causes trouble.

Slathering on the sunscreen even when not necessary (like walking from point A to point B, or spending 15 minutes outside, is what causes the predominant vitamin D deficiency in the first place.

Are you sure the "predominant vitamin D deficiency" isn't caused by the prevalence of metabolic syndrome?
