Tomato dishes ‘may protect skin’

A new study, reported by the BBC, shows that cooked tomatoes help guard against sunburn, wrinkles, and even skin cancer, by protecting the skin from UV rays.

We suggest though, that you ignore the reporter’s statement that “pizza and spaghetti bolognese could become new tools in the fight against sunburn and wrinkles” and just focus on eating more tomatoes with your healthy meals. Pizza and spaghetti do not qualify.

More information on the health benefits of tomatoes can be found on our Tomatoes page.
