Aaand in awesome to-the-point tabloid headlines of the day: Is your sun cream making you fat, old and depressed?, asks the Daily Mirror. It's a story about the latest hullabaloo over sunscreen—this time around, doctors are saying we're using too much. "While it’s vital to protect your skin from damage, including skin cancer, a recent study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) revealed that vitamin D deficiency is rising. People are getting far too little sun exposure, which the body needs to produce vitamin D, according to the study led by Professor Simon Pearce and Dr. Time Cheetham. It seems that years of sun-safety warnings have made us so terrified of skin cancer, we’re overcompensating by covering up too much – or staying out of the sun altogether. But this can cause bone problems—in extreme cases rickets and osteoporosis—depression and even weight gain." [Mirror]
