That is a highly myopic, frankly stupid, opinion that isn't even yours - you're just repeating things that you heard.
The deleterious health effects from not getting sun exposure vastly outweigh the potential DNA damage from sun exposure.
I take plenty of vitamin D every day
Can you quote the section of my comment that has gotten you so upset please?
I want to know exactly which bit of what I wrote instigated this response, so I know how to reply properly.
What deleterious health effects from not getting sun exposure?
