wow, Chris, thanks for that info. it just goes to show you... if modern medicine can be so wrong in their opinions about fasting, they must be wrong about pretty much everything else, including their support & promotion of sunscreen... public health was right on me from the very beginning, telling me to slather the stuff all over my baby daughter too.
what do you recommend if i know i'm going to be outside for longer than thirty minutes or during those midday hours (i walk everywhere because i don't own a vehicle), and what should i do in the cold winter months? i live in Canada, so we don't have much sun for about eight frigid months!!!
