1 had a correlation of Vitaimin D and sunscreen, naturally not as much Vitamin D made when using sunscreen and the other was the increase of the sales of Prozac and I guess other anti-depressants vs Vitamin D in the body.

I guess it makes sense at least to me, as the sales of Sunscreen went up so did the sales of Prozac.

My read on it is that Vitamin D must be a powerful chemical in our bodies.
