UV rays and cancer

I'm surprised to read an article on the web news today.

We are always advised to block out Ultraviolet (UV) rays, because UV rays can harm our health. The weatherman often tells us to be careful of UV rays, because the sunshine may give us strong UV rays. So there are a lot of people who do not like bright sunshine.

But the article says :

New research suggests that sunshine is necessary for our bodies. Our skin absorbs the UV rays and produces vitamin D, also known as sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D contains many anti-cancer benefits. Vitamin D might help prevent 30 more deaths than those caused by skin cancer.

What a surprise! We do not need any sunscreens. Oh, I've already bought rather an expensive one. UV-cut goods are very popular among us. They are more expensive than non-UV-cut goods. We will have to stop using those UV-cut goods.

If we use those UV-cut goods, our skin will not absorb UV rays and Vitamin D will not be produced.

If you go to a sunnier place of the world, you'll have few chances to get cancer, the article sys.

It seems to me that the most important thing is not to believe anything new immediately. Let's watch the progress for a while.
