UV Foundation
Thee primary goal of the UV Foundation is to fund research projects that will lead to a better understanding of the full scope of the biologic effects of ultraviolet light. Although the field of photobiology has existed for more than 100 years, research into areas such as vitamin D production and positive effects of ultraviolet light exposure is vastly under funded and little understood today. A better understanding of these areas will be in the best interest of the public health. The second goal of the UV Foundation is to engage in efforts to increase public awareness about the affects of uv light. The publication of this data benefits the general public, the scientific community and those in position to influence the general public, state and federal legislators and regulators. We hope that these efforts will lead to a better public understanding of the calculus between benefits and risks of UV light, and will create a synergistic effect in the research community, fostering the impetus to conduct more research into this important field

The UV Advantage (The Book)
A new book by Dr. Michael Holick attacks the conventional wisdom that sun exposure can have detrimental and sometimes fatal consequences.

His book, entitled, The UV Advantage, offers a different approach to sun exposure and suggests that regular moderate exposure to UV light is the key to healthy living.

Dr. Holick, Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Biophysics at Boston University Medical Center, argues that a lack of UV radiation leads to the body's depletion of Vitamin D. This depletion can lead to diseases such as osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes and cancer of the colon, prostate and breast.
