Its great that they have developed a new sunscreen that is more effective. The thing I don't like is the 'nano particles' part, where do these nano particles go? How do they affect the environment? I can imagine that there are quite a lot of sunblock used around the world...

Vitamin D is a very potent vitamin which the body only can produce in direct exposure of sunlight and is stored in the fat of the body. It also exist in a small range of foods. The problem is when you don't get any exposure of sunlight and you don't eat any food which contain vitamin D.
Vitamin D deficiency has been seen to result in a wide range of consequences such as Osteomalacia, Rickets, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease, depression and low immune defence.
