'Scientists are running trials to see how pomegranates may be used to treat prostate cancer. Previous studies suggested the fruit was beneficial, but it was not clear why. Now new research suggests chemicals in pomegranates attack cancer cells.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that mice given water with 500ml of pomegranate had significantly less cancer growth compared with those given only water. The study suggests powerful antioxidants, called ellagitannins, may be responsible. These are converted into compounds called urolithins in the gut, which may block cancer cell growth.
Scientists caution it is too early to say if the juice would benefit men undergoing treatment. However, patient studies have begun. At the University of California, men are drinking the juice daily for 18 months, while a study at Texas University is looking at its impact on levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA), a marker of the disease.'
