PROSTATE CANCER & POMEGRANATE JUICE CONSUMPTION...

The following is featured in the June edition of Soft Drinks International magazine (pg21):

 
"POMEGRANATE juice may slow the progression of unsuccessfully treated localised prostate cancer.
 
This is the essence of research presented at the American Urological Association Annual Scientific Meeting 2009.
 
It consisted of a two-stage clinical trial, involving 48 participants over six years, during which the effect of the daily consumption of 8 ounces of pomegranate juice was measured.
 
"Part of this ongoing study suggests that some patients may be more sensitive than others to the effects of pomegranate juice," reported a spokesman from AUA.
 
"This finding and other ongoing research might one day reveal that pomegranate juice is an effective prostate cancer preventative agent as well."
 
Phase three of the study is currently underway.
