Among the 50 tanning-salon patrons in Holick's study, 8 percent were deemed deficient in vitamin D, compared with 41.5 percent of non-tanners.

I wonder why 8% of tanning salon customers STILL were vitamin D deficient. Does the fact that some people could go to a tanning salon and still not produce enough vitamin D mean that some people need to tan more often?

This is one of those details that nobody seems to ever notice, but that could be more important to the tanning industry than the whole rest of the study.
