Blackraspberries May Protect Skin From Sunburn

I still love my blueberries this report includes most berries.

Now, protection may come from a tasty summer treat: black raspberries.

"And it's like a little lotion that we apply after the animals were exposed to the ultraviolet light," says Ann VanBuskirk, a skin-cancer researcher.
When black-raspberry extract -- which is loaded with antioxidants -- is rubbed on the skin, it appears to stop skin from swelling into a sunburn, and it actually stopped tumors from forming in mice.
"Things that you wouldn't normally expect, like raspberries and skin cancer, who would have ever thought? But it really opens people's minds to alternatives," says F. Jason Duncan, another skin-cancer researcher.
And this new research into antioxidants and sunburns could particularly benefit men.
"Men actually seem to be more sensitive to sunlight but in a different way than women," says cancer researcher Tatiana Oberysyn.
Research in male mice revealed they have much lower cancer-preventing antioxidants in their skin.
"The male mice actually developed tumors about two weeks earlier. They developed more tumors over time. The tumors were larger and also more advanced," says Oberysyn.
Scientists believe this study will translate from mice to men.
And to their daughters.
One lesson that will hopefully last a lifetime.
As for using other berries to help prevent skin cancer, researchers believe almost any berry will have the same anti-inflammatory response.
But don't start rubbing berries on your skin just yet. Scientists say the actual raspberry extract is colorless and doesn't leave a residue.
