Tomato dishes 'may protect skin'

Pizza and spaghetti bolognese could become new tools in the fight against sunburn and wrinkles, a study suggests.

A team found adding five tablespoons of tomato paste to the daily diet of 10 volunteers improved the skin's ability to protect against harmful UV rays.

Damage from these rays can lead to premature ageing and even skin cancer.

The study, presented at the British Society for Investigative Dermatology, suggested the antioxidant lycopene was behind the apparent benefit.

This component of tomatoes - found at its highest concentration when the vegetable has been cooked - has already been linked to a reduction in the risk of prostate cancer.

Now researchers at the universities of Manchester and Newcastle have suggested it may also help ward off skin damage by providing some protection against the effects of UV rays.

Anti-ageing paste?

They gave 10 volunteers around 55g of standard tomato paste - which contains high levels of cooked tomatoes - and 10g of olive oil daily. A further 10 participants received just the olive oil.

After three months, skin samples from the tomato group showed they had 33% more protection against sunburn - the equivalent of a very low factor sun cream - and much higher levels of procollagen, a molecule which gives the skin its structure and keeps its firm.

"The tomato diet boosted the level of procollagen in the skin significantly. These increasing levels suggest potential reversal of the skin ageing process," said Professor Lesley Rhodes, a dermatologist at the University of Manchester.

"These weren't huge amounts of tomato we were feeding the group. It was the sort of quantity you would easily manage if you were eating a lot of tomato-based meals."

There was a warning however that tomatoes should be viewed as a "helpful addition" rather than an alternative to sun cream.

The study was both small and short, and the team are now looking at carrying out fresh research into the benefits of lycopene for the skin.

Dr Colin Holden of the British Association of Dermatologists said: "While the protection offered by lycopene is low, this research suggests that a diet containing high levels of antioxidant rich tomatoes could provide an extra tool in sun protection".

ESL Major Series (EMS): MYM vs XcN

This is the first time XcN has signed up for an international DotA tournament; the ESL Major Series DotA tournament. They have been placed in the same group as MYM and TeG and are set to play MYM right now!

It has always been XcN's dream to face off against one of the top tier teams like MYM, and now they have the chance! Unfortunately, both teams found it difficult to find a suitable host. MYM|Fear ended up hosting which was good for XcN, but it seems MYM|Maelk and others were spiking badly.

With four stunners on their side, XcN took the advantage early through midgame, constantly killing the weaker heroes like Leshrac, causing him to get severly outleveled. On the other hand, Bristleback was leisurely free farming for a long time, getting a fast hood and radiance.

Although their stuns and spells were enough to sweep out most of MYM's heroes, the Bristleback ended up getting a triple kill at one point because he was just too tough to take out. Sand King couldn't do much with his ultimate anymore once most of the Scourge heroes got their blink daggers.

Bristleback became unkillable with 30+ armor but he could barely enter the Scourge base sometimes because XcN was doing a good job nuking the creep waves and in fights. Although the Bristleback could tank a lot he was constantly getting disabled. Most of the Scourge heroes had blink daggers as well, allowing them to blink away from the Bristleback, heal and then come back.

The game was looking good for XcN from the start, but unfortunately their efforts just weren't enough to stop the overpowered Bristleback. Fear was able to sit and tank through all their damage and hit down buildings, slowly but surely they got all their raxes down!

Virtus.Pro disqualified from Prime Defending 10

It is with deepest regret that we have to announce the disqualification of Virtus.Pro from this edition of Prime Defending and connected with that also the first season of the Prime Defending League.

After the second match between Check-Six and Virtus.Pro an investigation has been started with the result that Virtus.Pro used 3 unrostered players fakenicking for Virtus.Pro in the match. We have gathered evidence in form of IPs which have been clearly assigned to non-VP players at that time.

The proof shows that in the first match Vigoss was played by Isteran and sahka by ManiaQ. In the second match Vigoss was played by Aidar.

Both teams have been informed about the ongoing investigation on thursday the 24th of April at 12:30. The administration finished the investigation and made the Prime player council, currently consisting of Naz, Drayich, focusIRE, Maelk, Whisper and Lego, familiar with the case. The evidence has been approved by the council by friday the 25th of April with no votes against.

According to the current Prime Defending ruleset Virtus.Pro shall be disqualified from the current Prime Defending Tournament. Since they already had a warning from the prior playday the ban also includes the first Prime Defending League (PDL) season.
