if we give someone a vitamin B pill they're not gonna go in the Sun they're not going to remember they need to go in the Sun they're not gonna understand that the Sun has benefits independent of a vitamin D pill

We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

vitamin d pills are not enough yes taking a vitamin d supplement can be beneficial if you live in a place that doesn't get a good amount of sunlight for part of the year but what about all the other benefits of the sun that you can replace with a vitamin d pill
to say that you can simply take sunlight in a pill with vitamin D I believe this is really false you're missing these other benefits of ultraviolet light
So here's an argument to say, well, we're engineered to get out in the sun and there must be benefits from it. And the issue I think that you posed is how much of the benefit is vitamin D? Then the shakiness of that argument is that, well, you supplement vitamin D, you don't seem to get all of the benefit one would think.
