Why topless sunbathing is good for women

[slowmotion]

No, you are one of the sensible ones.

I get a lot of people asking for vitamin D. I keep on getting asked why it is only sold in 25 micro grams and can't they have the medical grade ****.

I may have to sit down and rest. I'm not used to being accused of being sensible.

Thank you.

I've nothing against topless sunbathing, but have I missed the bit where it says that the suns rays on the chest are the best way to gain vit D?

There is a way of assessing burns called the "Rule of 9s"

Wearing a sleeveless top will increase your exposure by 9%
Wearing swimming trunks and a sleeveless top will increase your exposure by 45%, as will going topless

Of course simply wearing swimming trunks will be the most exposure

... and of course you have to weigh up the decrease in breast cancer with the possible increase in Melanoma and other skin cancers from the additional exposure to the sun

So the thread title was a typical Daily Mail lure of laviciousness for a thread about Vitamin D.

So the naked bike ride is good then

I have reading about vitamins. I read this extract:

Low vitamin D intakes and low serum vitamin D levels are associated with increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers; adequate vitamin D seems to protect against breast cancer recurrence. A distinguished medical researcher - Edward Giovanucci of the Department of Medicine, Harvard School of Public Health - said, "I would challenge anyone to find an area or nutrient or factor that has such consistent anticancer benefits as vitamin D." He added that vitamin D may prevent thirty deaths for every death caused by skin cancer.

Then the book lists factors that affect the body's production of vitamin D from sun exposure, which include:

• latitude and time of year
• time of day
• cloud cover, fog or smog
• materials that block UVB rays
• UVB sun lamp
• skin colour
• area of skin exposure
• age
• body weight

I also read about B12. This appears to be the one vitamin vegans cannot source naturally. It's a book about veganism, and the authors stress that, strictly, the vitamin comes from micro-organisms, not animal flesh, but that since you would normally get vitamin B12 by eating meat, I don't see the distinction. Interestingly, I thought vegans tended to look pale because they were not getting enough iron, but the book says iron is not a problem. They do say that a symptom of B12 deficiency is megaloblastic aneamia:

Without proper cell division, facilitated by vitamin B12, abnormally large red blood cells appear in the blood, because the cells have failed to divide properly. This condition is called megaloblastic aneamia. The blood has decreased ability to carry oxygen, which results in fatigue, weakness, decreased stamina, shortness of breath, palpitations and skin pallor. Note that this condition can be masked in diets rich in folate (as many vegan diets are), because dietary folate is part of the process of red blood cell division.

If you want to see women with their tits out, get online, find your nearest nudist beach or go to a strip club.

It'll be less embarrassing for you than posting this rubbish.

Was there not a phenomenon in Oz of tanning you boyfriends name on. A melanoma called Bruce, was the resultant study.

It's not rubbish, it's science.

Don't be transphobic. She might be a transwoman.

So willy waving is worth merely 1%.

A penis and balls?? You call that a penis and balls??

Either it was very cold when they were drawn, or they are waiting for Puberty to catch up with them!!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Size queen!

Not really, but I like a reasonable amount!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Maybe it was a cold day - standing there with all his clothes off like that...

That's the excuse and the drawing is sticking to it!

 

[srw]

A penis and balls define his physical sex - not his gender...

Don't be transphobic. She might be a transwoman.

One thing at a time. Let's get Cuno over the idea that people are different first - he's clearly a bit confused.
