What is missing from this article is that people living above the 34th latitude can only make vitamin D from sunlight half the year, from March to October, because the tilt of the earth for higher latitudes means the sunlight has a thicker atmosphere to travel through, which absorbs the UV rays. Sunshine exposure is still beneficial for T cells, as the author describes.
Los Angeles is on the 34th latitude. I meant to adds that the article is very helpful in understanding so much more about vitamin D, thank you for making this info available. And for more about MK-4 see "In Defense of Vitamin K2 MK-4: Dr. Price’s Activator X," by Dr. Will & Elizabeth Schlinsog (Wise Traditions, April 2020).
Research shows about 10% to be genetic. That said ... it's hard to parse it out; along with genetics, family members often have environmental factors in common. Good you're avoiding those chemical sunscreens. Checking your body sure doesn't hurt, as long as it's not anxiety-producing. :) Thanks for your comment!
