SCIENTISTS are saying a glass of wine could help prevent sunburn and skin cancers

SCIENTISTS are saying a glass of wine could help prevent sunburn and skin cancers.
The scientists say special compounds in the grapes used to make the tipple can protect skin.
The breakthrough is good news for those who like a glass of vino or Sangria on their summer holidays. Experts say the discovery could even help them develop super drugs to protect holidaymakers from cancers and burns.
The Spanish study found that substances in grapes reduced cell damage caused by the sun.
Some grapes can help stop skin molecules from reacting to ultraviolet rays which cause sunburn, according to the researchers at the University of Barcelona and the Spanish National Research Council.

Did you know that  for the first time ever in history British wine drinkers, those notorious Francophiles, are buyingmore American Winethan theFrench!!  The implications of this are quite staggering when you think about it. What this really means is thatCaliforniawine (95% of US exports) outsold French wine in the UK for the first time in recorded history.
