the pros of pomegranates

Pomegranate juice has already been shown to reduce the degree of atherosclerotic plaque formation (the thickening & hardening of the arteries) in high-risk cardiovascular patients. It may also help in the treatment and/or prevention of prostate and breast cancer. New research shows that compounds in pomegranate juice support joint health by blocking protein molecules that break down cartilage and cause inflammation. (J Nutr 05; 135: 2096-2102). If you do try pomegranate juice, seek out brands that are organic and that have no added sugars.
