Kate you didn't really address my questions, How do people in MOST of the US get Vitamin D 6-8 months a year when the sun is too weak and/or its too cold to go outside exposed? You think people are tanning indoors to get ready for vacations? This is completely untrue but a common misconception. The busiest 90 days of a tanning salon is 3/20 - 6/20 and the slowest 90 days in a tanning salon is 9/20 - 12/20. People are drawn to indoor tanning salons because their eye has detected that daylight has increased sufficiently enough for their bodies to make Vitamin D if they expose themselves. Trees, animals and humans all "hibernate" in the winter. Trees know when to drop their leaves and grow new leaves based on length of daylight. Its not temperature. March 20th - June 20th the human eye detects the largest increase in daylight and the human eye detects the largest DECREASE in daylight between Sept 20 and December 20! Humans pour into salons in late spring because their bodies are craving vitamin D. After all they just went through a Vitamin D winter! That is why salons are inundated in spring and empty in the fall. Please encourage people to get sunlight any way then can! Lives depend on it!
