Hydroxytyrosol, a natural antioxidant from olive oil, prevents protein damage induced by long-wave ultraviolet radiation in melanoma cells

It is estimated that as high as 75% of the population is vit D deficient, and the unreasonable fear of the sun is contributing to this extreme deficiency numbers.
