Summary: "For millennia, humans laboured in the fields under the warmth and light of our nearest star. Then, with industrualisation we moved inside to dark factories, and sterile office blocks. With this shift came industrial disease and a string of debilitating modern illnesses. Two decades ago, scientists researching cancer rates began to find areas with more sunlight had fewer cancer fatalities. Specifically, they found there were fewer fatalities among people who sunbathe regularly without sunscreen. Now, award-winning journalist and author Ian Wishart investigates the latest research, to find out whether Vitamin D is just another over-hyped fad, or whether it really is the miracle vitamin playing a role in prevention of the deadliest diseases on the planet..." --Back cover.
