I wish they had more to say, for example, how many grapes people should eat and when if they wish to avoid sun damage.

Two cups a day, according to the article. (Cups is an odd unit for measuring grapes.)

[C]onsuming over two cups of grapes a day can increase resistance to a sunburn by nearly 75 percent.

If this is really true, it's quite big. Sunscreen is super toxic. As with the hemp-batteries article recently, this almost seems too good to be true. But if it works, I'm going to switch to grapes, for sure.

The number of grapes we have to eat is too damn high

That two cups thing was just the measure they took for the experiment, they didn't have anything to say about, say, minimum significant amounts, and whether you could eat grapes for a couple days before knowing you'd be in the sun for it to help
