Poms are one of the best foods that you can ingest. They help to rid the body of free radicals, provide you with vitamins and minerals that alot of other fruit dont have. They assist in cleaning out the urinal tract, help prevent prostate problem for the guys and also make a great martini. But remember everything in moderation. To much Pom and you might find it a bit painful to go pee, much the same as cranberry juice, quite tart. Try mixing the juice with other juices.

Not at all!

In fact....tne pomegranate delivers 40% of an adult's daily vitamin C requirement. It is also a rich source of folic acid and of antioxidants. Pomegranates are high in polyphenols. The most abundant polyphenols in pomegranate are hydrolysable tannins, particularly punicalagins, which have been shown in many peer-reviewed research publications to be the antioxidant responsible for the free-radical scavenging ability of pomegranate juice.

Many food and dietary supplement makers have found the advantages of using pomegranate extracts (which have no sugar, calories, or additives), instead of the juice, as healthy ingredients in their products. Many pomegranate extracts are essentially ellagic acid, which is largely a by-product of the juice extraction process. Other pomegranate extracts are described as 'punicosides' ("stuff from pomegranates"), a new term invented by a clever marketing team and not found in any peer-reviewed journals. It may be advisable to look for finished products which have pomegranate ingredients that are backed by their own clinical science, standardized to punicalagins, and are of reputable quality.

In several human clinical trials, the juice of the pomegranate has been found effective in reducing several heart risk factors, including LDL oxidation, macrophage oxidative status, and foam cell formation, all of which are steps in atherosclerosis and heart disease. Tannins have been identified as the primary components responsible for the reduction of oxidative states which lead to these risk factors. Pomegranate has been shown to reduce systolic blood pressure by inhibiting serum angiotension converting enzyme (ACE).

Research suggests that pomegranate juice may be effective against prostate cancer and osteoarthritis.

So keep popping those pips! ;)

Wrong? How so? Morally or decisionally? Probably not, since it does not hurt anyone including yourself.
