It’s looking more and more like it’s one of the most important vitamins, and modern lifestyles don’t provide enough of it naturally.

Indeed. It looks more and more as if the medical profession’s obsession with skin cancer is setting up all those who listen to it for other cancers as well as other lethal diseases – note that osteoporosis is sometimes indirectly lethal.
I tend towards the middle ground here. IMHO the real problem among dwellers in the North (particularly in the UK) is that people try to get a whole year’s sunshine in a fortnight – and burn. Also IMHO, UV is not really the problem; it’s sunburn that’s the problem.
Perhaps particularly vulnerable areas – nose and ears for example, and the top of the head in the large proportion of men 40+ who have little or no head hair – should be protected. I’m far from convinced that the rest of the body should be. Just work up to going out in the sun.
And if for some reason or other you feel forced to cover up at all times, then that’s the reason to take vitamin D.
Get out in the Sun!!!
