Letter: Dose of sunshine

Published 13 September 2003

From Walter Harms

In her article about the benefits of sunshine, Celeste Biever says that government bodies fight shy of recommending a daily allowance of sunshine.

However, the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection has a leaflet that recommends 15 minutes’ exposure to sunshine three times a week to support the synthesis of vitamin D.
