Pomegranate is good

I laugh every time someone promotes a new food or supplement that they say is good for you.  Most of us have been around long enough to see food fads come and go.  When I started reading this forum there was much talk about the benefits of pomegranate juice.  I have now seen it packaged in everything from a simple $2.00 bottle to a forty dollar ($40.00) gold looking chalice. It is still just pomegranate juice.

While I agree that eating right is good for everyone,we should remember that most fruits provide all that we need. I would never tell anyone to not drink pomegranate ( I do), but lets also know the truth.

This is a good critique of fad eating.

I have used it for a few months and it is good.

Studies also support the benefits.

Some experts have warned that pom juice can interfere with some antidepressants (and others I don't remember) and no extensive testing to date has been done on other types of meds.

Purple grape juice is also high on the benefits list and tastes a heckuva lot better, too! (Not to mention it's cheap.)

Try mixing a little tonic water with it. And for a real treat, sip it out of a wine glass. Do the 3 S's of wine tasting and pretend.  It does taste better that way. 

I seem to recall reading a study here where pomegranite juice either slowed the rate of recurrence or stopped it. Unfortunately I don't have it bookmarked, but I will see if I can find it.

But who says it tastes bad. I sort of like it (but not as much as orange juice). It is quite expensive though.
