I see that our old friends from Nice (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) have yet again issued a warning about sun tanning.
This time they say that there is no healthy way to get a natural tan, and that we should stay out of the sunlight. However, they then go on to say that we should avoid vitamin D deficiency and that sitting in the sun shielded by a window won't do the job of building up vitamin D.
As ever with Nanny and Nice, her one size fits all advice isn't worth the paper it is printed upon. In the UK, as we know, the number of sunny days per annum are somewhat "limited". Advice such as this merely produces hysterical media headlines, and a sigh from the rest of the population who will inevitably ignore the advice.
Doubtless in a few months Nice will issue a directive telling us that we are in danger of rickets etc because of vitamin D deficiencies!
Just ignore the advice, and use your common sense when outside.

Don't worry Ken, I am sure Nanny will find a celebrity chef who will be able to pontificate on this matter and put us all straight, after all, it seems that celebrity chefs are dictating government policy at the moment.....Advice to Saint Jamie of Oliver: if you want to boss people about, stand for bloody election to Westminster......Advice to Messers Cameron et Al: we have elected YOU to decide policy and to govern, not a bloody chef.....PS: If you want a solution to the world's economic crisis, the problems in the Middle East or NHS funding, I notice our local Kebab shop has a cook working there, perhaps he could sort it all out for you!
ReplyDeleteSo going out in the sun is unsafe. Therefore people that never go out in the sun are healthier and live longer than those that do.
ReplyDeleteWho pays for this shit research? And why does the BBC insist on running these reports in their news programmes?
