The sun is not just about vitamin D.
I mentioned infrared and interferon production in the past. Dr. Mason has far more lots to say about sunlight.

His conclusion on the study mentioned at 14th minute you better take with several big rocks of salt however. 800 IE are severely underdosed and do not even comply with in many western countries laws to obligatorilu supply small children in the first 18 to 24 months with 1500 to 2000 IU of vitamin D. So that there is no effect shown in that study is absolutely no surprise. His following mentioning of meta analysis also must be seen critically, since he does not mention the doses of vitamin d the included studies worked with. I know from reading about all this since years that the vast majority of such studies, especially on vitamin d and c, usually work with therapeutically inefficient or low efficient doses. I take 20000 in 7 dark months of the year and 10000 in the bright months - and not for no reason.

Supplementing nutrients get often discredited by doing studies with so low doses that no therapeutically effect is shown - guaranteed. This is not to say Dr. Masons intend was like that. I give him the benefit of doubt on this.
