Middle class children suffering rickets - Telegraph

When going out for periods of time in the sun, its not just required to slather on sunscreen. Sunscreen will cut down on ultra-violet light waves that can burn the skin, but also reduces the vitamin D that is so critical to one's health.....

Middle class children in the south of England are suffering from the '17th century disease' rickets as parents cover them in sunscreen and limit time outside in the sunshine, a leading doctor has warned.

This is the kind of discussions that we have had at home. No need to put on sunscreen late in the afternoon. No need to do it either when exposure time is limited.
