According to a Norwegian study released  by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Sunshine is the main source of Vitamin D that cuts the risk of dying from cancer in the internal organs.

“The study combined data from surveys of serum vitamin D levels during winter from 15 countries. It is the first such study to look at satellite measurements of sunshine and cloud cover in countries where actual blood serum levels of vitamin D3 had also been determined. The data was then applied to 177 countries to estimate the average serum level of a vitamin D metabolite of people living there.” (EurekAlert, August 21, 2007)

It is recommended that people use sunscreen that absorbs and protects you against unhealthy ultraviolet wavelengths, known as UVA.  Vitamin D is also found in some food such as fortified milk, cod liver oil, Salmon and Tuna fish.
