Pomegranate Health benefits
Pomegranates are full of vitamins A, C and E and high in folic acid and polyphenol antioxidants. But that's just the beginning.
Dozens of medical studies, suggest that pomegranate is indeed a wonder-juice.
It has been shown to reduce risk of heart disease by protecting heart vessels from cholesterol. It is effective in slowing and even halting the production of cancer cells in patients with prostate and breast cancer.
Pomegranate juice has been proven effective as a cure for urinary tract infections, as a protection against Alzheimer's disease, and is a powerful antioxidant, ridding the body of two to three times as many toxins as red wine.
Perhaps even more exciting is some of the inconclusive research that is currently being done - such as a study in South Africa that suggests pomegranates may be of use in treatment of HIV. Studies suggest that pomegranates, including both the juice and the rind, may be able to attach to the virus and carry it out of the body in much the same way as cranberry and pomegranate juice carry viruses out of the urinary tract.
