These three vitamins are all antioxidant that protect the skin from free radicals in different ways.

So it is not surprising that people who eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables containing lots of vitamins A, C and E are the least likely to develop skin cancer!
Even though all berries are a source of heart healthy antioxidants called anthocyanins, blackberries and blueberries are an especially good source. Anthocyanins are also the antioxidants that contribute to the famously heart healthy effects of a daily glass of red wine.
