The pomegranate
was one of the earliest cultivated fruits. Historical evidence says it
was used between 4,000 and 3,000 B.C. In the past five years, the juice
it produces has become very popular. People think it might fight cancer
and heart disease. Go to a cocktail party and you will hear people having
pomegranate martinis. We bring up pomegranate because it's the fruit du
jour. As is the case with many of these remedies, the truth lies in that
it doesn't do everything, but it may potentially help. Of course, back
off on the martinis.
