A new study has found that drinking pomegranate juice may be beneficial to men. The BBC reports on the study which found pomegranate juice slows prostate growth and reduces PSA numbers.
Pomegranates contain a cocktail of chemicals which minimise cell damage, and potentially kill off cancer cells.
The study, by the University of California in Los Angeles, appears in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.
Previous research had indicated that pomegranate juice could have a beneficial effect on prostate cancer in tests on mice.
But the latest study has shown that humans can potentially benefit too.
Fighting prostate cancer is just one of the many possible benefits of pomegranates. It has also been linked to other benefits. They contain anti-oxidants and isoflavones. This may be why pomegranates are also a hot shopping trend.
