LOL, good one.

Anyway, for one test, Eurosun S3 lamps were used, which have a lower Deff/Eeff ratio than most tanning lamps. The question regarding UVB in "newer" beds has already been answered. I'll post the abastract for the vitamin D and sunlight article as soon as it's available.

BTW, one thing about tanning and vitamin D is that it is not necessary to get a tan in order to create vitamin D. But if a person has gotten enough UV exposure to get a tan, then they have produced adequate vitamin D.
