Happy Monday and welcome back to reality! I am back in action and today I have a special post to share with you. Molly Peters from POM Wonderful contacted me a while back and asked me if I would like to try some POM wonderful products. Of course my answer was YES. So she sent me some great coupons for some POM Wonderful Juice. I have tried it many times in the past and I LOVE it.
In addition to the coupons Molly sent me some great information on the products. I didn’t know this stuff was so powerful. Below is some information/facts about POM Wonderful.
100% Authentic
POM is the only brand that can guarantee 100% authentic pomegranate juice because we are the only brand to grow, juice and bottle our own fruit. There are no middlemen.
At POM Wonderful, pomegranates are our only business. We grow them, pick them and juice them ourselves. We believe in the goodness and the amazing health benefits of Wonderful variety pomegranates, and we promise 100% authentic pomegranate juice in every bottle we ship. Not every brand is as honest as POM Wonderful. Three independent labs tested ten other brands claiming to have 100% pomegranate juice and found that nine out of ten so-called pomegranate juices had added sugar, colorants and other low-grade fruit juices. So, other juices may be less expensive than ours, but you get what you pay for. Pomegranates are the heart and soul of our company.
For the superior antioxidant health benefits and genuine pomegranate juice taste, there’s only one choice – POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice.
Health Benefits
Prostate Health
A preliminary UCLA medical study, published by The American Association for Cancer Research, found hopeful results for prostate health. The study followed 46 men previously treated for prostate cancer either with surgery or radiation. After drinking 8 oz POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice daily for two years, these men experienced significantly slower PSA doubling times – from 15 months at the beginning of the study to 54 months at the end. PSA is a biomarker for prostate cancer, and slower PSA doubling time may indicate slower disease progression.
Cardiovascular
A 2005 study published in the American Journal of Cardiology showed improved blood flow to the heart in patients drinking 8oz. daily of POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice for 3 months. Researchers studied a total of 45 patients with coronary heart disease who had reduced blood flow to the heart. Patients drinking POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice experienced a 17% improvement in blood flow, compared to a 18% worsening in patients drinking a placebo
One pilot study on 19 patients with atherosclerosis (clogged arteries) at the Technion Institute in Israel demonstrated a reduction in arterial plaque growth. After one year, arterial plaque decreased 30% for those patients who consumed 8oz of POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice daily, compared to a 9% worsening for patients who drank a placebo.

I haven’t tried POM yet, but I guess I better since it sounds like it is really good for you! I think I would want to try one of the tea flavors.
I use the POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice to make Pomegranate Jelly! I used to crack the real fruit, get all of the seeds, mash them, so on and so on. Now I crack open a bottle and make DELICIOUS Pomegranate Jelly! YUM!
I am a fan of the blueberry-pomegranate as well as the tangerine flavours…
I have not tried POM juice before or any other pomegranate juice. I think I might start with the blueberry-pomegranate as “eatlivetravelwrite” suggested. It sounds good!
Welcome back!
I LOVE POM Blueberry – it takes the bitter edge off.
I am keeping my fingers crossed to win the blog makeover
POM Cherry is great!
cherry, blueberry, tangerine i love em all! i mix it with some sparkling water and it makes for a VERY refreshing treat! if i get my drink on POM and Vodka is VERY good!!
My fave POM is the blueberry infused one….
I’m a fan of the Pom/Mango juice. I like to make it into my own teas. I’m not crazy about their teas (although I have plenty of the glasses in spite of this claim!) because they seem to be super sweet to me. Still a refreshing treat though.
