The return of Rickets
Cases of rickets have risen from 185 in 2001 to 479 in 2009 .I thought that rickets had been virtually wiped out with the use of vitamin supplements but it appears it is making a comeback because children are being smothered in sun screen and not spending enough time outside ,and when they are outside they are either in a car or covered from head to toe in clothing
Quote:
"It's very difficult for parents because they're encouraged to apply sunscreen because of the dermatological consequences of not.
Rickets causes the bones to soften and legs to bow
"But it would seem that that excess is too much for bone health and vitamin D. They're shutting out the sunshine which is causing problems with bones.
"Similarly children and adolescents don't go out as much; there aren't as much school sports and when they do go out they tend to cover up."

TB
Quote:
The increase in the number of tuberculosis cases in the UK has largely been in non-UK born groups. In 2009, these included black African (28%), Indian (27%), and white people (10%). However, 85% of individuals born overseas had lived in the UK for at least two years prior to being diagnosed, i.e. they were not recent immigrants. This suggests transmission may have occurred after they had arrived in the UK.
Poor living conditions are known to be associated with TB and, in particular, the author considers prisons to be “ideal breeding grounds”. He quotes a four-year study (2004–07) of 205 prisoners with newly-diagnosed TB that demonstrated that, compared with all other cases in the UK during that period (29,340 in total), prisoners were more likely to be UK born (47% versus 25%) and to be white (33% versus 22%). Only 48% of prisoners diagnosed with active disease completed treatment, and 20% were lost to follow-up.

That's one part. The other part is increased travel. Brits going over there, contracting deseases and bringing them back home as if they were bounty.

Hmm I was joking. Although to be fair, it wasn't that funny.

No they just need to go out and play in the fresh air and sunshine a lot more.Frankly slathering on sunscreen to go out for a 20 minute play break on a sunny afternoon is possibly overkill,which is what seems to be advocated in many primary and infants schools.
The issue just needs some basic common sense.Adding vitamins to food cost money and sunshine is free.

When I were a kid (no electricity or only one book), we just played on rubbish heaps, we didn't use food or medicine, rarely got ill either with colds or infections*
