Recent interest in the therapeutic properties of the pomegranate has resulted in a number of independent clinical studies from scientists around the world that have begun to substantiate the pomegranate's legendary powers. I have included links to some of these independently published studies.Chemopreventive and adjuvant therapeutic potential of pomegranate (Punica granatum) for human breast cancerhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12002340&dopt=AbstractNam Deuk Kim, Rajendra...
Pomegranate Juice Consumption for 3 Years by Patients with Carotid Artery Stenosis Reduces Common Carotid Intima-Media Thickness, and Blood Pressure
This randomized controlled pilot study of 19 patients (ages 65-75) is the first to show that pomegranate juice may reduce the amount of plaque in the arteries of patients with heavy plaque buildup (severe carotid artery stenosis) as well as substantially benefiting several important blood parameters.Ten patients consumed 8 oz. a day of pomegranate juice for 1 year. Nine patients who did not consume pomegranate juice served as controls. The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery wall was measured and blood samples were taken at the beginning of the study and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.After...
Menopause: Midlife Discomfort Can Be Minimized With Mineral Salts & Pomegranate Seed Oil (CLA)
Around the age of 35, a woman's reproductive organs are affected by dietary and metabolic acids and become less active. This results in a decrease of the acid estrogen (which isa good thing)but a build up of other dietary and metabolic acids resulting in irregular menstrual cycles and frequent side effects such as water retention, weight gain and mood swings (which is a bad thing).Eventually, around the ages of 45 to 54, all menstrual bleeding stops resulting in a condition known as menopause, which affects 50 million women in the U.S.During menopause, estrogen, an acidic waste product of reproductive...

Pomegranates May Clear Clogged Arteries
A new study shows that pomegranate juice may help fight hardening of the arteries.Researchers found that pomegranate juice not only appears to prevent hardening of the arteries by reducing blood vessel damage, but the antioxidant-rich juice may also reverse the progression of this disease.Hardening of the arteries, known medically as atherosclerosis, refers to the build up of plaque in the walls of arteries. This causes decreased blood flow that can lead to heart attacks and strokes.Pomegranate Juice Soothes Stressed ArteriesIn the study, researchers tested the effects of pomegranate juice on...
Pomegranates Suppress Prostate Cancerous Cells

Pomegranates Protect Against Atherosclerosis
Researchers have revealed that pomegranates may provide important health benefits for diabetic patients.According to results published in the August 2006 issue of Atherosclerosis, subjects who drank 180 ml (6 oz.) of pomegranate juice per day for three months experienced a reduced risk for atherosclerosis, a condition that leads to arterial wall thickening and hardening.The researchers also found that drinking pomegranate juice reduced the uptake of oxidized LDL (“bad” cholesterol) by large, versatile immune cells known as macrophages. Oxidized LDL uptake by macrophages is a main contributing...
