We're starting to get into some pretty controversial territory here, but I think you're probably better off still getting at least SOME sunshine.

It's speculative, but I believe the skin cancer risk can be dramatically reduced by making sure you're not getting too much linoleic acid in your diet (note: you really have to try at this, tho -- almost every1 is!).

Here's a study in mice:

Of course, that's not humans, but I think the fundamental mechanisms at play should be the same.

More broadly, this article is interesting, and makes the case for more sun exposure:

Interesting. Other information [0] suggest that I should consume more lineolic acids compared to other fats to help my risk of Heart Disease that runs in the family. Not looking good for me hey!
