Vitamin D and the Cruising Sailor

[Boracay]

There was a fascinating interview this morning on ABC Classic radio (Australia) by Margaret Throsby of Professor Rebecca Mason, a specialist in Vitamin D. Her research focuses on the way it affects bone and skin.

The interview covered much more, including the effect of vitamin D on bone mass, diabetes and depression.

For those unfamiliar with Margaret Throsby's interviews it does include some lovely classical music and lasts just under one hour, but has a lot of fascinating information on Vitamin D and the effect of sunlight on the human body. The MP3 version omits the music.

For those of us who wonder about the cruising lifestyle this interview rang many bells.
