Disease Proof

The Daily Mail mentions a small study involving cancer in mice that has been conducted at the University of Wisconsin.

A total of 24 mice were divided into three groups. One was given normal water to drink, while the others had their water supplemented with 0.1% or 0.2% of pomegranate juice.

The doses were chosen to mirror how much juice a typically healthy person might be willing to consume daily.

The results were dramatic, the scientists said. Cancer progression was significantly slowed in mice receiving the higher pomegranate dose.

The study was mentioned on VegSource, which also links to a study from March showing pomegranates may help prevent heart disease, too.

When I first went to Dr. Fuhrman he told me to put a little bit of pomegranate juice--as well as ground flax, nuts, and fresh fruit--on my morning oatmeal. Especially if that fruit is blueberries, that makes for a delicious breakfast.
