    Research shows eating pizza can protect you from sunburn. A unique mix of ingredients is the perfect combination to keep out harmful UV rays, say scientists at Dusseldorf University. Just 40 grams of tomatoes and olive oil a day could triple the skin’s ability to protect itself against the sun. They added that a pizza would only offer protection for about two weeks, after which another dose would be needed (and, spoil sports that they are, that sunblocks are still more effective).
