For years “Sun Scare” purveyors have floated the bogus argument that sunbeds are more dangerous than natural sun because they are “more intense” than sunlight. That argument is based fully on the fact that most people don’t even know what that means.

While a limited amount of vitamin D can be obtained from exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the health risks of UV exposure — including skin cancer — are great.
