Fact or Myth: Sun exposure is bad for you

While most dermatologists and public health officials recommend staying out of the sun to avoid skin cancer, this can actually be detrimental to your health.

Avoiding the sun entirely is inadvisable, as sensible sun exposure can actually help protect against many cancers. The vitamin D your body produces in response to UVB radiation actually helps protect against melanoma.
