OK, I'm An Idiot (Or Really Smart)

I've never liked sunscreen and rarely use it. My wife scolds me regularly. A battle is beginning to rage over sun exposure. Why? Data is beginning to come in on relative risk of low vitamin D levels (stimulated by sun exposure) versus the increased skin cancer risk of more exposure.

I try to avoid being outside at peak sun times, and try to be covered/shaded when I am. But I don't like putting sunscreen on, so I don't use it except in very rare cases. Now, it looks like I may be vindicated (at least partially).
