Is the sun good or bad for you?

In recent years there has arisen a mania amongst many for keeping out of the sun, as sunbathing 'causes skin cancer'. I have never subscribed to this view being as the sun clears up my psoriasis and also boosts vitamin D levels in the body. So I was intrigued to read in The Mail that Cancer Research UK are about to recommend that rather than avoid the sun between 11am & 3pm and cover up with clothing, a hat and sunglasses as well as use factor 15+ sunscreen, as is currently recommended, people should use their common sense when sunbathing in the heat of the day. Some skin types may be able to dispense with sun cream for short periods without burning.

People being told to use their common sense, what is happening to this country?
