A study published in the International Journal of Health Sciences stated that “no international health organization or governmental body has declared [this deficiency] a health emergency to warn the public.”

To warn you that when you slather your body with sunscreen, you’re blocking your body’s vitamin D production by up to 99%.[sup]1[/sup]

In other words, wearing sunblock:

Increases cancer risk 4.5-fold
Robs you of calcium
Leads to osteoarthritis
Interferes with insulin sensitivity, resulting in diabetes
Weakens your immune system
Increases inflammation
Causes heart disease and even sudden cardiac death
Contributes to both depression and Alzheimer’s

Your sunscreen is even putting you at risk of the very cancer it’s supposed to protect against – skin cancer.

In fact, since sunscreens first started to be mass marketed, the rate of skin cancer cases has soared an incredible 660%.[sup]11[/sup] The increase for women is even greater: An incredible 2,300%! That extraordinary increase is no coincidence. The ingredients in most sunscreens cause cancer.

Even the FDA can’t ignore the data any longer.

The toxic chemicals in commercial sunscreen products accumulate deep into your bloodstream after just a single day of use.

Here’s what just a few of these chemical ingredients can do:

Oxybenzone: One of the most commonly used sunscreen chemicals, oxybenzone is linked to endocrine disruption, organ system toxicity, and photoallergies caused by sun exposure.
Homosalate: This ingredient is also linked to hormone disruption. And it can also increase the absorption of pesticides, including bug sprays.
Octinoxate: Numerous studies have proved this chemical causes low sperm count in males and changes in the size of the uterus in lab animals.

To get the vitamin D you need, I recommend what I call “gentle tanning.”
Start out gradually. As little as 10 minutes in the midday sun can provide you with 10,000 IU of vitamin D.
Roll up your sleeves and pant legs. But do wear a hat. Your face gets enough natural sunlight exposure every day.

Of course, getting a sunburn is dangerous for your skin. But research has identified several supplements that can protect against sun damage, from the inside out.

Try this tropical fern. A protective compound from a South American fern fights oxidative stress in skin tissue and boosts the body’s strongest antioxidant, glutathione. Studies show that Polypodium leucotomos
Supplement with nicotinamide: This is a form of vitamin B3 that protects skin cells from UV overexposure.
