Is Pomegranate Juice the Miracle Elixir Companies Claim? Source: By DOUG DIPASQUALE Posted: 01/09/08 1:11PM Filed Under: Food Recently a Healthy Foodie reader wrote to me and asked "Hi Doug, do you think POM juice is all it says it is?" After writing a response, I thought I should share it with all the other readers out there. I wrote: In a way, yes. POM claims their juices are loaded with a specific type of antioxidant and that this antioxidant is good for specific health benefits related to lowering free radical damage. All this is true. However, POM (above) is pasteurized and is from concentrate. These processes kill off major nutrients (especially enzymes and Vitamin C) that are all present in a fresh pomegranate. This means you no longer have a whole food but an antioxidant elixer. The whole is truly greater than the parts when it comes to natural foods, and with POM and other pasteurized juices, you're left with only a part. The problem with the claims these companies make is that it gives an unrealistic view of what their product can do for people. It certainly isn't going to hurt drinking 8oz of POM per day, but if you're using that as a replacement for fresh fruits and veg you're going to run into problems. You need a variety of antioxidants (which are present in all fresh fruits and vegetables) and with all the cofactors that occur naturally. Like I say, it ain't gonna hurt you, but I would go for an actual pomegranate instead. And if you only want the juice, juice it yourself. lifestyle.aol.ca
