See book keywords and concepts |  Antioxidants serve many purposes for plants; foremost among them is protecting plants from free radicals in their environment and from free radical generators, such as ultraviolet radiation and environmental pollution. The energy in ultraviolet radiation is sufficient to turn susceptible molecules into free radicals by knocking an electron from the molecule's electron cloud. Fortunately for us, the benefits antioxidants confer to plants are transferred to us upon our ingestion of the plant or plant extract. | | The body uses ultraviolet radiation to produce vitamin D. ultraviolet radiation also causes sunburn and can create free radicals.

See book keywords and concepts |  Glass does not transmit ultraviolet radiation whereas quartz does. He called these rays "mitogenetic radiation" because they caused mitosis, and he showed that these rays alone changed the growth pattern of the receiving onion. Unfortunately, when these experiments were being performed in the 1920s, the climate for this type of information was not receptive. It was not until much later, when others followed through with his initial research, that his hypothesis of ultraviolet radiation coming from cells was discovered to be true. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Skin shields our bodies and critical organs from ultraviolet radiation. But skin must also pass enough sunlight to support production of the vitamin D needed to make healthy bones. As our ancestors spread around the globe, these opposing pressures colored the skin of people in different tegions. The dominant need for UV protection favored dark skin in the tropics; the need for vitamin D favored lighter skin in the northern latitudes.
Technological innovation played a key role in the spread and adaptation of people to new environments. |

See article keywords and concepts |  In order to get sunburned, you have to be exposed to excessive ultraviolet radiation and suffer from extremely poor nutrition. But with Astaxanthin, you can have an internal sunscreen that prevents your skin from burning even when exposed to excessive ultraviolet radiation.
This is important, as sunlight is beneficial to human health. Every human being needs to be exposed to natural sunlight on a regular basis; otherwise, you will suffer from vitamin D deficiency diseases, such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, mental depression, osteoporosis, diabetes and so on. |

See book keywords and concepts | | For comparison, humans are commonly exposed to solar ultraviolet radiation which can damage tissue, but the body's repair mechanisms usually prevail. Still, the public is often concerned about undue health risks, especially for small children. Increasing distance from electrical sources is the most practical way of reducing exposure.
While there have been inconclusive and conflicting studies involving the health impact of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in the range of household appliances, there has been a small but significant increased risk of leukemia noted among children exposed to EMFs. | | Vitamin D food fortification or supplementation has the advantage of not damaging the skin as does solar ultraviolet radiation. Vitamin D pills represent "sunlight in a bottle." [reference? Photochemistry Photobiology 81: 1287-90,2005]
Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations sets standards for the optional addition of moderate amounts of vitamin D in enriched grain products, a provision that is not utilized. Researchers now suggest vitamin D grain fortification be mandated in the US with the specific goal in mind of reducing cancer rates over time. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Part of this is due to sunscreen's effect of blocking ultraviolet radiation (UV light), which generates the powerful anti-cancer nutrient Vitamin D in human skin. Vitamin D is quite simply the world's best anti-cancer medicine, and recent studies have shown that it can prevent nearly four out of five cancers in women (ALL cancers, including breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, brain tumors, multiple myeloma and even skin cancer). Click here to read NewsTarget articles on Vitamin D. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  The scientific evidence, however, shows quite clearly that sunscreen actually promotes cancer by blocking the body's absorption of ultraviolet radiation, which produces vitamin D in the skin. Vitamin D, as recent studies have shown, prevents up to 77 of ALL cancers in women (breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, brain tumors, multiple myeloma... you name it). Meanwhile, the toxic chemical ingredients used in most sunscreen products are actually carcinogenic and have never been safety tested or safety approved by the FDA. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Cholecalciferol is made by skin when the skin is exposed to direct sunlight containing the B form of ultraviolet radiation (UVB). Cholecalciferol is also called Vitamin D3. It is the form used in many supplements and is sometimes used in food fortification.
Forms of Vitamin D
Vitamin D3, cholecalciferol, is made in the skin or taken as a supplement. Calcidiol is the storage and circulating form of vitamin D. Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D. Vitamin D2, ergocalciferol, is made by irradiating fungi.
Calcidiol is made from cholecalciferol in the liver. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Dark skin pigmentation blocks ultraviolet radiation, meaning that people with black skin need far more time under the sun to generate the same amount of vitamin D as someone with white skin. Not surprisingly, black women suffer extremely high rates of breast cancer while black men show similarly high levels of prostate cancer. The white-dominated medical industry pretends to be "mystified" by all this. Why won't conventional medicine simple tell black people the truth about vitamin D, skin pigmentation and cancer? |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts |  Alcohol, cigarettes, and other mineral and vitamin depleting substances, such as allopathic and hallucinogenic drugs, can also make the skin highly vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation. In particular, polyunsaturated fats as contained in refined and vitamin E depleted products, such as thin vegetable oil, mayonnaise, salad dressings, and most brands of margarine, pose a particularly high risk in the development of skin cancer and most other cancers. According to Archives of Internal Medicine, 1998, polyunsaturated fats increase a woman's risk of breast cancer by 69 percent. | | According to a study published in the prominent Cancer journal {March 2002; 94:1867-75) insufficient exposure to ultraviolet radiation may be an important risk factor for cancer in Western Europe and North America. The findings, covering mortality rates from cancer in North America, directly contradict official advice about sunlight. The research showed that deaths from a range of cancers of the reproductive and digestive systems were approximately twice as high in New England as in the Southwest, despite a diet that varied little between the two regions. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  When you expose your skin to ultraviolet radiation, your skin generates vitamin D on its own. If you already have sufficient stores of vitamin D in you body, then additional exposure to the sun will never create an overdose of vitamin D. It will only create the amount you need and no more.
Technically, as Dr. Michael Hollick explained in an interview, the excess vitamin D created through exposure to ultraviolet radiation is broken down and consumed by the body. |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts |  In addition, alcohol, cigarettes, and other mineral- and vitamin-depleting substances, such as prescription medicines and hallucinogenic drugs, can make the skin vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation. After you have cleared your liver and gallbladder from all gallstones, moderate sun exposure will cause you no harm; in fact, it is essential for good health.
Over 42 percent of Americans suffer from vitamin D deficiency, and 47 percent of pregnant women are severely deficient in this important hormone. Their children tend to have weak bones that break easily, even during their childhood years. |
Dr. Steven R. Gundry
See book keywords and concepts |  Red grapes produce a phytochemical called resveratrol, which protects them from ultraviolet radiation, fungus infections, and other stressors. Resveratrol activates anti-aging genes that stimulate the production of proteins that circulate in your body, throwing overboard cells that aren't pulling their weight and rejuvenating cells damaged by advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). But don't rush out to the health food store to buy resveratrol capsules, which are generally worthless because resveratrol is inactivated by exposure to oxygen. |
Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews
See book keywords and concepts | | Air pollution, toxic waste, and pesticides introduce such free radicals as nitrogen dioxide into the body. ultraviolet radiation from the sun can produce free radicals in the skin, for example. Many people introduce free radicals into their bodies through their behaviors. Each puff of cigarette smoke contains millions of free radicals, and each swallow of alcohol leads to the production of free radicals.
Third, free radicals can be formed from other free radicals in uncontrolled chain reactions. A free radical molecule is missing a vital part of itself: one of its electrons. |
Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey
See book keywords and concepts |  In terms of public health, with the exception of the negative health effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun and radon gas from the earth, there is little scientific agreement about the health effects of energy fields, natural or man-made. Debate rages about the effects of the loss of the ozone layer and the output from high-power electrical transmission lines on health. Despite reams of studies, we are left with contradictory guidelines about the safety of cell phones, microwave ovens, computers, and other electronics that emit low-level electromagnetic or magnetic fields. |
