May Fight Prostate And Breast Cancer
Recent studies have shown that pomegranates can fight breast and prostate cancer . Eight ounces of pomegranate-juice was consumed by prostate cancer patients in a study. This increased the time it took for the prostate-specific-antigen (one marker associated with prostate carcinoma) to double from 15 months to 54 months. Additional research in humans has shown that pomegranate fruit juice can slow the progression of prostate cancer. Laboratory studies on breast cancer have shown that pomegranate juice slows down the growth of cancerous cells. Some research has also found that the extract destroys cancerous cells. Researchers plan to study the benefits of pomegranate for breast cancer patients soon.
