I shit you not!

I just finished reading the newspapers. I browsed though the "letters
to the editor" section, and I couldn't believe what I read.

There was a letter from a guy replying to some non-sense written
previously by yet another reader. They were discussing whether it's
better to get your vitamin D via suplements or via exposure to the
Sun.

Apparently, the author of the first letter wrote that it's better to
get them from the drug companies. His reasoning is that since this is
a tropical country and even though the Sun is usually so strong here,
since it's so hot and you have to take a shower so many times, when
you do so, you wash the vitamin D off your skin!!!

I shit you not! I'm not a doctor, but this theory of the vitamin D
washing off your skin sounds like real idiocy, worthy of Bush.
