FS Folks:
Well, apparently the pomegrante is more than what it seems. Every time I read about nutrition it seems like there are new discoveries and insights. For example, it was always stated that a calorie was a calorie regardless where it came from. Apparently, that went out the window.
Now, sugar is not always sugar. The pomegrante has sugar but apparently it is attached to antioxidants and a bunch of polyphenols. So, in some studies (NIH stuff) subjects with TYPE II diabetes experienced a blood sugar drop. And, apparently pomegrantes are good for lipid management.
Anyway, it still may be early to tout the benefits of the pom - in other words, more studies need to be done but, it is worth keeping an eye on. Noted, *concentrated* POM was still bad news as any concentrated juice is sugar heaven , so beware.
