New findings show daily grape consumption (three servings) for two weeks alters skin gene expression and lowers UV-induced oxidative stress, suggesting grapes act as a nutrigenomic 'superfood' that could bolster the skin’s protective barrier and potentially affect other tissues.
A small study of four volunteers found that consuming about three servings of grapes daily for two weeks altered gene expression in skin cells, promoting UV-protective changes (keratinization and cornification) and reducing the oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde, suggesting grapes may confer UV protection via nutrigenomic effects; the mechanism is still unclear and findings are early, with prior data and funding from the California Table Grape Commission noted.
A study suggests that women who drink moderate coffee in midlife may experience healthier aging, including better mental and physical health, with effects possibly linked to bioactive compounds in coffee rather than caffeine alone. The research, based on long-term health data, highlights the complex interactions between coffee's components and genetics, though further peer-reviewed studies are needed.
