Happy Tuesday!  How about we start the day with a giveaway.  You up for that idea?  I thought it would be great since I did not get home until 7:30pm and didn’t really have time to cook anything. We ended up just eating leftovers at my Mom’s.

Just a recap on my POM post from previous.

POM is the only pomegranate juice that controls its juice from tree to bottle: bottle-to-bottle, batch-to-batch, year-to-year.

They grow and hand-pick our own fruit. And they squeeze our pomegranates using proprietary pressing equipment that we designed ourselves. This stringent quality control process results in 100% pomegranate juice with superior taste and a consistent dose of polyphenol antioxidants.

So with that being said, here it is:

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.
