Spector said mouse study provided reason to stop using SPF 50 all year round, in post attacked as ‘frighteningly inaccurate’

Spector cited a recent mouse study that suggests vitamin D levels may be an important factor in cancer immunity and immunotherapy success, saying the research is “another reason to stop using SPF 50 all year round which blocks our natural defences”.
