    It turns out we have been lied to all these years, sunscreen causes cancer.

    You're not supposed to eat it.

    If you weren't convinced that the daily mail are a bunch of useless, borderline evil twats, here's a list of things they claim give you cancer.

    Of course, when they find something that actually prevents cancer, they claim it's dangerous.

    Too much Vitamin D is toxic.

    Anyone in the developed world who is lacking vitamin D is probably not eating a healthy diet. The article points out that rickets was common before the 1940's and those kids played outside more than today's kids. It was diet that was the big change.

    TBH, I'm really surprised that the DM didn't say it caused cancer

    oops spoke too soon - DM says sunscreen causes cancer




    Aside
    if you are in a survival situation don't eat polar bear liver, as you could easily ingest a fatal dose of vitamin A

    bear liver contains too much Vit A, not Vit D.



    and if this child drank a few glasses of milk everyday she would have no vitamin D deficiency
