<font color=deepskyblue>The primary point of the criticism centered around a book he published advocating moderate exposure to sunlight. The biggest point of contention is that he endorses uses sun-lamps or tanning beds to obtain this "moderate exposure" in addition to just going outside in the sunshine. There are also allegations that he has investments with the Indoor Tanning Industry that "influenced" his research results.
And the ones criticizing him are also doctors of dermatology, so it's fair to assume they also know what they are talking about. But this is really much ado about nothing, because the only thing Dr. Holick actually lost was a title. His resignation is largely symbolic because he kept his position as Director of the Vitamin D lab at B.U. and he didn't lose ANY of his salary. Here is a story from the Boston Globe that gives some more details on the subject B.U. Advocate of Sunlight Draws Ire</font> |
Just take a brisk walk outside, you'll get moderate sun exposure as well as fresh air. Simple as that. [img]smile.gif[/img]
