Sunscreen

The topic of sunscreen use is a controversial one. A good resource to use is the Environmental Working Group's Sunscreen Guide.

We don't necessarily agree with all of their recommendations, but it will give you a good background in the issues.

Also remember that using sunscreens, even natural ones, block the body's ability to make Vitamin D, a crucial nutrient for health. You can read our article on The Importance of Vitamin D Testing for more information.

If you haven't had a recent test of your Vitamin D levels, please contact one of the doctors to discuss it.
