UV radiation has recently been classified as a known human carcinogen by the US Department of Health and Human Services. Nevertheless, the voluntary exposure to sunlight continues unabated despite progressively increasing rates of ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced illness and death, particularly

Vitamin D has a range of biological effects of public health relevance (Prentice et al, 2008). Besides its well known role in mineralization of bone and teeth, vitamin D also play important roles in metabolic functions, the pathogenesis of certain diseases, e.g. type 1 diabetes, celiac disease,

We examined a low carbohydrate diet (40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, 30% fat) versus a low fat diet (60% carbohydrates, 20% protein, 20% fat) to determine the impact of these dietary patterns, combined with exercise, on weight loss, body shape and body composition. Inclusion Criteria: - Aged 30 and
