all right. i'm dying here. you head to the pool, you smother yourself and the kids with sunscreen. you think you have it all covered, right? not so fast. >> no, no, no, there's so much more to keep your skin safe from the sun. here to put your knowledge to the test is sasha. from "women's health." all right. >> let's kick it off. true or false. number one, sunscreens need to contain antioxidants to be effective. >> yes. >> yes, you are correct. >> stuffs a guess. >> it was the right one. they add an extra layer of

protection, so add things for green tea, vitamin c. any time it says antioxidant, that gives you a little boost. uv protective clothing is just as good as sunscreen. >> the answer is true. >> it is not. >> you need both. >> kathie lee is right. uv protective clothing is a great way to help block your skin, but you need it every day, no excuses. number three -- sunscreen and sun block are never fully waterproof. kathie lee? >> true. >> this is correct. >> this is a new rule with the fda. >> one day i'll get it right. >> the fda says you are no longer allowed to write waterproof, so when you see that, you know it's bog us many the new thing is water resistant. >> there you go. this is a blowout. >> i think it's 4-0. you can use sunscreen up to

four months after it expires. kathie lee. >> that is true. >> that is not true. >> i've done it. >> i think we've all done it. just as you wouldn't want to use expired milk for anything. it breaks down -- >> is it better than nothing. >> sometimes it could be better than nothing if you've got absolutely nothing. >> there you go. >> but try to keep it fresh. check the expiration date. next one. anything under sp f-15 is ineffective. >> that's definitely false. >> this is true. so -- >> why even have it? >> what you want to do. sp f-15 protects you from burning, but it does not protect against the uv rays that cause aging and skin cancer, you may not get a sunburn, but you're still at high risk. use spf 30 or above. >> only one more, so this is the tiebreaker. >> okay.

here we go. one heavy coat the sunscreen provides enough protection from the sun? >> false. >> oh, i knew that one. i knew it was false. >> oh, that was good. what do i get, jer? although doggone hat. >> i'm the one that needs it. >> and the glasses. >> thank you, sasha. remember, we'll get the picky eaters to beg for more. first, this is "today" on nbc.

time for "today's kitchen." what's cooking? we have lots of food for picky eaters. if your child would give up toys for a week before he looks at a broccoli pizza, you're not alone. jessica hart sure has some options to make it fun. >> it's all about presentation and how you cook it. >> they don't like the raw broccoli, because it's so hard. if you steam it, it gets the mushy texture. we talked to a taste researcher who said a quick stir-fry, some broccoli and salt, i am too lazy to even stir-fry, so i bake mine in the toaster oven, and it gives it the best texture. >> you're wacky, you know that, jessica? >> this is a peanut sauce.

if your kid is addicted to chicken nuggets, you try something like a chicken satay, where you put it on the stick. maybe they won't notice. i would use a blunt-tipped popsicle stick. >> so they don't pierce themselves. >> we talked to a waiter at a japanese restaurant. edamame is a magic maker. you pop the beans out. >> they call it popcorn in japan. >> totally delicious. >> and wontons, sneaky way to get vegetables in. and they're in the freezer or refrigerator section of your supermarket. a school lunch planner told us a secret. she says kids don't like it if you've mixed the textures together, but let them do it themselves. it trumps the issues if they have control over it.

or give it a cute name. this is traffic light peppers. i have a 5-year-old friend who doesn't love vegetables, but she loves the peppers, because they're sweet. >> and they don't need a saus r sauce on them. and then a flavor scientist told us to serve it with a familiar, and they may not notice. >> they're delicious. they really are. here's a little frozen treat. >> a preschool teacher using orange juice with the pulp, and makes it like a slushy. and the frozen grapes are such a great treat. >> again, a few picky eaters have a problem with the textures, but if you freeze them, they're like candy. >> great in the summertime. >> just slice them in half in your kid is 4 or under. more of the "real housewives of new jersey" tell us about the new season. >> weren't they just here? >> i think they were. finally a reason for me to get in here tomorrow.
