Tomato paste and olive oil: a skin helper

Tweet

I´m reading now that eating a mixture of tomate paste and olive oil can help to protect you from the sun rays and will end up in a younger skin. It did say that it was a small study (one asks : how small?). It said that "people supplemented their normal diets with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with a couple of teaspoons of olive oil every day for 10 weeks while a control group got just the olive oil. The volunteers also sat under a sun lamp at the beginning, middle, and end of the study -- just long enough to lightly sunburn their shoulders. But by week 10, the tomato-paste group showed 40 percent less sun damage than the olive-oil eaters did" Would you try it? The tomato diet, I mean? I wouldn´t mind it, as I love tomatos. I wonder if it works when you use the tomatoes in a sauce. Could you give some ideas about eating this paste without heating it? All I can think of right now is a sort of Bloody Mary. Ideas, please! No harm about trying it, besides the sun screen.
