Deficiency Topic

Tanning neglected still vitamin D and its important role in human health than most natural vitamin D source is always more attention in the media. Especially now in wintertime, where deficiencies through increased susceptibility become apparent, service editors take up the topic of vitamin D deficiency. The UV-B light of the Sun than most natural vitamin D source is treated very carefully. UV-B light by artificial tanning in solarium lacks entirely in the reporting. The coverage of the “sunshine vitamin D” is not only increasingly, but German television – at least in the public sector – also always informative and balanced. But the strange contradiction between the information remains striking, for example that 90 percent of our vitamin D supply is produced by UV-B radiation on the skin, and still very shy the dealing with the subject of Sun and tanning. The note on the tanning bed as vitamin D source is avoided scary. This information and education could about a responsible use by UV-B light – also of the artificial – help people to survive infections without vitamin D deficiency and the usual winter. A typical example of the advantages but also the contradictions of the public TV coverage of Sun, vitamin D and health was a post in the show “zibb” of the rbb television (Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg).
