Sunlight protects against MS

Studies done in 2008 are being challenged once again. According to "The Epoch Times" "new evidence has come to light. . .some of sunlight's apparent ability to protect against MS does not come from Vitamin D." A new study published in March 2010 "used an animal model of MS known as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE)." The animals "were exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, which led to dramatic reductions in the activity of the disease." Of course this is a controlled environment, and studies were done on animals, but wouldn't it be fair to research more on tanning bed usage before presuming that it is a risk. The tanning industry has done many studies, but lobbyists in government against our industry definitely have more money to attack us.
