I first discovered pomegranates several years go at Christmas following a salad recipe given to me by a friend and really good cook. I started the messy process of retrieving the hundreds of tiny seeds. (I know the seeds are available in a nice little package, but I did it myself. Extra points for me!) My salad was delicious. Pomegranates have properties that make it a healthy addition to most any diet. So when my Dad told me about a study that his sister's trainer told her about, I was interested. It involved decreasing the atherosclerotic lesions in the carotid artery. I am passing to you the link and you can decide for yourself if it might be helpful. Take into consideration the amount used in the study in Israel is 2 ounces. Don't get drunk on pomegranate juice thinking more is better. Also, when you shop for pomegranate juice, read the label. Look for pure juice, not a cocktail. Check the sugar content. After you recover from label shock, buy the one with less. Mine is Lakewood. Check out the link below.
