0:00.0	Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Discovery.
0:08.6	Time flies when you learn in super cool stuff. I'm Nate.
0:11.6	And I'm Callie. If you're dropping in for the first time
0:13.8	welcome to curiosity where we aim to blow your mind by helping you to grow your mind.
0:17.4	If you're a loyal listener, welcome back. Today you'll learn about how grapes have
0:21.5	the potential to reduce the risk of skin cancer,
0:24.3	how dogs behaviors are hardwired into their genes, and how underwater seaweed forests might
0:29.5	be able to combat climate change.
0:31.6	Without further ado, let's satisfy some curiosity.
0:34.3	Good news everyone! For people looking to eliminate some of the bad news in the world,
0:39.5	it has been discovered that the risk of skin cancer can be reduced drastically with a
0:44.3	daily glass of wine. Okay, okay, the, like topical or you drink it. How is this glass of wine preventing skin cancer?
0:55.0	Well, I mean, I'm going to go ahead and say that if you are just rubbing wine on your skin,
1:00.0	it's probably not for the best, but I think they're saying that imbibing is the way that this works.
1:06.0	Yes. So this was the result of a recent study and how effective great consumption can be on reducing
1:12.2	UV-induced skin aridema, which is what happens
1:15.8	when your skin becomes red and splotchy from too much exposure to the sun.
1:19.6	This is one of the key markers for skin cancer, as for why grapes it's because they contain
1:25.2	hundreds of phytochemical that have many many health benefits. I ask
1:29.8	phytochemical they're they're healthy and phytoey chemically.
1:34.1	Okay, okay.
1:35.1	Yep, I also didn't know what phytochemical were at first.
