A comment on Low vitamin D linked to heart disease, death. Parent comment
From what I have read tanning beds emit mostly UVA rays not UVB in fact something like 95% of what is emitted is UVA.
UVB is what prompts your body to make vitamin D not UVA and UVA is what makes you tan UVB creates more a burn than a tan.
Tanning beds offer the worst you could possibly get you're getting very bad burn e.g. a "tan" and very little vitamin D compared to sunlight.
