Have you ever wondered why some natural remedies remain in the shadows despite their proven effectiveness?

We are talking about a fruit that costs pennies, but contains unique substances that suppress the growth of cancer cells. And yes, you have probably seen it on the shelves of the supermarket.

What's hidden behind the bright skin?

Pomegranate is what is called “natural chemotherapy” in scientific circles.

Research shows that its juice and seeds are rich in punicalagins, antioxidants that are 3 times more effective than green tea or red wine.

These compounds block inflammatory processes that contribute to the development of tumors.

For example, an experiment at the University of California (2016) proved that in patients with prostate cancer who drank pomegranate juice daily, the growth of PSA (a tumor marker) slowed down by 60%.

Why don't pharmaceutical companies advertise pomegranate?

The answer is simple: it can't be patented. It's not profitable for drug manufacturers to promote something that can't be monetized.

“Natural substances are difficult to standardize, which means they are difficult to turn into a pill with a guaranteed profit,” explains oncologist Michael Greger in his book How Not to Die.

In addition, pomegranate competes with expensive dietary supplements that fill pharmacies.

What does science say?

1. Breast cancer: Pomegranate extract destroys estrogen receptors in cancer cells, stopping them from dividing (Cancer Prevention Research, 2010).

2. Colon cancer. Punicalagins suppress inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing the risk of tumors by 40% (University of South Carolina study, 2019).

3. Prevention of metastasis. Pomegranate flavonoids block enzymes that help cancer cells spread (Nature Communications, 2021).

How to include pomegranate in your diet?

Eat ½ cup of seeds daily for 40% of your daily value of vitamin C and a dose of antioxidants.

Drink natural juice without sugar - 150 ml in the morning is enough.

Add grains to salads, yogurts or oatmeal - they enhance the absorption of nutrients from other foods.

Important! Pomegranate does not replace treatment, but increases its effectiveness. Consult a doctor before use, especially if you are taking blood thinners.

Conclusion

Nature has given us a powerful weapon against disease, but it is rarely advertised.

Pomegranate is an example of how an affordable product can become part of cancer prevention.

News materials should not be equated with a doctor's prescription. Consult a specialist before making a decision.
