You know what caught my attention, right? "... women required to wear robes and head coverings ... ". Hmm. So does this mean that women who are not required to wear them but do so anyway are not included in this list? Why throw in the word "required"?

No woman in her right and sound mind would wear robes and or head coverings unless it was required, it appears.
Although some people have deficiencies that require vitamin D supplements, most people can get enough vitamin D from sunlight and their diet. However, groups of people who may not get enough sun exposure include people who are homebound, have an occupation that keeps them indoors, people living close to the poles, women required to wear robes and head coverings, or people who simply spend too much time watching TV or at a computer. These activities or lifestyles can increase the severity and intensity of your acne.

I'm not sure that I agree with her, despite coming from a fair-skinned family who are poster children for skin cancer and all other manner of sun damage to the skin. But, the argument could be made that head coverings and modest clothing have a protective value.
Thank you for stopping by and considering these things! Always feel free to use the labels at the bottom of the entries, to see all the posts about a certain subject, say Christian, or Orthodox Christian specifically - I do post a lot of links to personal blogs who have written about these things. :) And thank you for the BTW!
This was really interesting, Lisa. Good eye! The bias is obvious.
