http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/10/051002120002.htm Can Pomegranates Prevent Prostate Cancer? A New Study Offers Promise MADISON - The juice of the pomegranate, say researchers at Universityof Wisconsin Medical School, shows major promise to combat prostatecancer - the most common invasive cancer and the second-leading causeof cancer death in American men.... They found a"dose-dependent" effect - in other words, the higher the dose of pomegranate extract the cells received, the more cells died. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/07/060702084515.htm Pomegranate Juice Helps Keep PSA Levels Stable In Men With Prostate Cancer Drinking an eight ounce glass of pomegranate juice daily increased by nearly four times the period during which PSA levels in men treated for prostate cancer remained stable, a three-year UCLA study has found. http://www.webmd.com/content/article/124/115697 July 5, 2006 -- A glass of pomegranate juice a day may keep prostate cancerprostate cancer recurrence away, UCLA researchers report. Don't go jump on the pomegranate bandwagon yet. Just read in a Consumer Reports "On Health" issue that pomegranate juice can lower blood pressure in a similar fashion to prescription ACE inhibitors and should be avoided by those taking these drugs. Add in a dose of viagra and blood pressure goes through the floor. Pomegranate juice also inhibits at least two liver enzymes that metabolize some medications (several antidepressants, AIDS drugs, and some narcotic pain relievers) resulting in unhealthy levels of these medications. As is always the case, there's no magic bullet that fits all. Dave Perry > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/10/051002120002.htm > Can Pomegranates Prevent Prostate Cancer?

It certainly avoids the sugars and carbs with which the juice is loaded. Whether the capsules are as effective as the juice is a different question, but I gulp two or three a day under the "can't hurt" umbrella. Alex I've been drinking R.W. Knudson pure pom juice made from concentrate. Can't say I like the taste at all. The curious thing about it is that the concentrate is imported from Iran. Figure that out. If our relations with them deteriorate anymore, should I risk drinking it? :-) >>> http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/10/051002120002.htm >>> Can Pomegranates Prevent Prostate Cancer?

I buy a brand called Lakewood. I get it at Whole Foods Market. It is not only NOT from concentrate, it's also organic. I think it tastes pretty good. And, as I've stated before, it tastes REAL good with tequila. John John wrote > And, as I've stated before, it tastes REAL good with tequila. Doesn't everything? ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12
