On the contrary - sunlight is an important source of vitamin D. Because vitamin D aids in calcium and phosphate absorption, it also helps promote formation and growth of healthy bones and teeth. Recent research shows that regular exposure to the sun, without overdoing it, has been shown to reduce the incidence of skin cancer. Other research has chown that lack of exposure to sunlight has been linked to increases in kidney, breast, prostate and colon cancer. You should still apply sun protection in the form of sunscreen and sun-protective clothing. As with all things, moderation is the key. Obviously, too much sun exposure means too much exposure to harmful UV rays, and there is no doubt about the link between UV rays and skin cancer.
