Pomegranate – A Super Antioxidant

Native cultures knew the practical value of many common foods in treating common ailments--that is, before the advent of the industrial revolution and the subsequent suppression of traditional medicine by the pharmaceutical juggernauts. Pomegranates, which are not native to the Americas, have been revered in Asia and the Middle East for millennia for spiritual as well as health reasons. "Modern science" has only recently realized the importance of this super anti-oxidant, which is gaining popularity in the prevention and treatment of cancer and heart disease.
