That's the claim and I used to echo it, but with near daily walks (weather permitting) plus hikes when weekends permit, plus gardening, I'm still deficient. Same story for almost everyone I work and exercise with.

There's either more to it or the claim doesn't hold up empirically

I dunno about you, but I'd much rather take a vitamin D supplement/vitamin E fortified foods, than get skin cancer

Make sure you take vitamin k mix or vit d supplement can calcify arteries

Also I think E causes lung cancer in supplement form
