CONTROVERSIAL new research suggests that Britons should sunbathe daily without sunblock to help fend off disease - a finding that directly challenges current government guidelines on sun exposure.

A report entitled Sunlight Robbery claims public health in Britain is being put at risk by official policy which discourages sunbathing and promotes the use of sunblocks.

Adults should in fact spend at least 30 minutes each day unprotected in the sun to boost vitamin D production, a key factor in the prevention of "around 25 chronic diseases", the report says.
