      I'm starting to think that they should [make as much money as they can ]... Who would take a pomegranate supplement rather than eat the actual pomegranate. The supplemen has to be a lot harder to find than the fruit.

      @@koreyb Thanks for the tip! I know, but, I've never seen a pomegranate supplement, anywhere. But I see pomegranates at least once a month. And I'm never looking, I don't eat them, I just stumble on them while looking for other things. (Although, now I know there's a powder I might just get it as a spice.)

    I loved the POM Wonderful juices as it was 100% pomegranate, but we don't get them anymore here in Australia. It was the only pomegranate product with the highest quality we had here in Australia. It was sad they had stopped shipping it here.
    I never had rheumatoid arthritis (and other chronic diseases), so I wouldn't be able to say if it made any differences to what it claimed. I loved the rich dark maroon color of the juice, and I used to take half a glass each day.... until they disappeared from the grocery shop.
    I don't believe in the one magic fruit/vegetable that will cure all/multiple. I totally agree with what Dr.Greger presents; Food Synergy. So eating pomegranate with a rainbow diet, with good exercise and rest is the best approach.

    Amazing what whole plant based food can do for you......of course, I'm sure you have to eat more than one Pomegrate in a day to see any results.......so you should try to eat them every day for two months and see what happens.....I try to drink the POM stuff, but I often wonder if they don't add sugar to it....I believe the ingredients don't indicate as such, but......sure tastes sweet to me....

    Thank you! I daresay this is one of the examples of popular 'news' items which have people talking about how expensive it is to go vegan. Rice and beans, guys, potatoes, most of us are probably not buying pomegranate nor is it required -- but it's great to know it could be helpful in case someone is having issues and would rather not take medication, at least not right away. Rheumatoid arthritis, being autoimmune, is inflammatory and can be Greatly improved with good groceries, whole plant foods especially with some ground flax or chia for omega 3 :)

    Hello i can see in the study « The intervention group received 2 capsules of 250 mg POMx » but what is it compared to the fruit ? Is it equivalent to a fruit ? To 250ml of juice ? Big up from France.

    The best book I know which will convince you to eat the whole fruit (or vegetable) for health benefits instead of taking a supplement is "Whole" by T. Colin Campbell (author of The China Study).

  • @JorjaFox66
    @JorjaFox66 2 года назад +4

    I’m betting like many things the sum of the parts is not equal to the whole in other words you’re not going to get the same effect from juice or extract as you would if you ate the whole pomegranate kernels.

    • @ebz1610
      @ebz1610 2 года назад

      but wasn't the study done using extract? If that is the case, the anti-inflammatory properties would presumably be higher in the extract vs. whole. Not that whole is not good -- but that's not what was tested.

    I wonder if these were studies done on people who eat crap diets and are praying drinking some fruit juice will somehow save them from all their bad lifestyle choices. lol. They aren't even eating the fruit, they are drinking some processed juice. That's like thinking, "I drank some apple juice with my burger, fries, and chocolate milkshake. Why do I have high blood pressure and diabetes? Apples must not be healthy."
