New Research: Eating Grapes Can Protect Against UV Damage to Skin - SciTechDaily
Jan 22, 2023 40 secs

A recent study published in the journal Antioxidants has shown that consuming grapes can protect against UV damage to the skin.

The study participants who consumed 2 ¼ cups of grapes daily for two weeks showed increased resistance to sunburn.

The study also found a potential correlation between the gut and skin, as those participants who had UV resistance also had unique microbiomic and metabolomic profiles.

One metabolite in particular (2’-deoxyribose) is a strong indicator of reduced photodamage and suggests unique genetic profiles of relevance for personalized medicine.

Furthermore, three of the UV-resistant subjects showed a durable response where UV protection remained after reverting back to no grape consumption for four more weeks.
