Media Reviews
Can sunshine, now shunned by so many who fear skin cancer and wrinkles, save many more lives than in harms? Most definately, says the leading expert in the field, Dr. Michael F. Holick, a professor of medicine, dermatology, physiology and biophysics at the Boston University School of Medicine. Dr. Holick, who discovered the active form of Vitamin D, has pulled together an impressive body of evidence in support of his advice that no one should be, as he puts it, a sunphone, or for that matter, a sun worshiper. Dr. Holick elaborates on these ideas in an important book(to be published), written with Mark Jenkins, a health writer. People should have the opportunity to benefit from the doctor's insights without further delay.
