Is there anything that this antioxidant-rich superfruit can’t do? So far, research has linked it to preventing heart disease, better post-exercise muscle recovery, improvements in erectile dysfunction, and even visibly reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Now, according to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, it appears that this multitasking fruit may also protect against prostate cancer.
The researchers, from the University of Mississippi, suggest that ellagitannin, a compound in pomegranate, inhibits the activity and expression of the enzyme CYP1B1, which is implicated in the development of prostate cancer.
