The Pomegranate Fruit


Pomegranates and their juice have an abundance of antioxidants and phyto-chemicals. The Pomegranate fruit contains anthocyanins, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants that neutralize damaging free radicals ( organic molecules linked to aging) before they have a chance to attack cells and DNA. A study shows that a group drinking an 8 oz glass of the pomegranate juice extract, for 3 months, raised the capacity of the blood antioxidants, which increased the blood flow to the heart 17 percent.


Coronary Heart Disease

In a study of forty-five participants who either drank just more than an 8oz glass of the pomegranate juice or a placebo juice tasted like the pomegranate juice for three months. On average, the blood flow to the heart in the group drinking the pomegranate juice increased 17 percent and the group drinking the placebo declined 18 percent in the three months.


Prostate Cancer

Researchers at UCLA tested 46 men, who had already been treated for prostate cancer, by giving them 8ozes of pomegranate juice—measured the men’s blood levels of PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)—marker of prostate cancer. The faster these levels double the sooner the prostate cancer return. After they began drinking the juice the doubling slowed down by four times. These results were so promising that a larger study is now underway.


Breast-Lung Cancer

Laboratory studies show that various component of pomegranate juice suppress breast cancer and reduce the spread of lung cancer.


Type II Diabetes

Ten people with Type II diabetes were given pomegranate juice for three month. Without affecting blood glucose or cholesterol levels, the juice seemed to lower the risk of atherosclerosis and slow the immune cells’ absorption of unhealthy LDL cholesterol. This is very important to people with diabetes because this condition increases the risk of heart attack two to four times.

Atherosclerosis

Pomegranate juice helps prevent plaque buildup in the arteries, restricting blood flow, causing strokes and heart attacks—numbness and pain in the arms and legs.


Alzheimer’s disease

A daily glass of pomegranate juice may prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Mice were engineered to get Alzheimer’s disease; and after given pomegranate juice showed greater learning and memory skills compared to those without it. Animals learned water maze tasks quicker and swam faster. After examining the mice brain, researchers found it had 50 percent less build up of harmful protein, called beta-amyloidal deposits, which is associated with brain cells damage—which is the cause of Alzheimer’s disease.


How to Prepare the Pomegranate Fruit


1. Slice off the little crown and cut off the rind without cutting through the skin.

2. Place fruit into a bowl of water—break into sections. Gently push the juice sacs (called arils) out. Discard everything else.

3. Strain the water and eat the arils—seeds and all.

Always, remember health and happiness are inseparable twins!


*Note. In juicing, there are only three items that you have to peel—the grapefruit, orange and tangerine (reason being that the body rejects the oil in the peel, which is used in the manufacturing of dynamite). All other fruits and vegetables are juiced with peel and skin intact. The majority of people eats the flesh of the cantle- lope and throws away the peel. Not realizing that, by throwing away the peel, they’re throwing away 95 percent of the fruit’s benefits.

**Do not, I repeat, pour liquid into the juicer at any time!

Fat America

Seeing fat people everywhere in America makes me wanna barf! They’re here, they’re there, and they’re everywhere! What’s up with these people? Surprisingly, some of these women have the gall and audacity to refer to themselves as being cool, hip, full-figured and super, sophisticated fine. Ha! I think not! My take on such women is that they’re, fat frogs, blown up bubbles and Hump Dee, Dump Dees! While shopping at a little produce store, the other day, I saw women weighing, at least 350 pounds each; their collateral bodies, almost blocked the 8 foot aisle. I blurted out, “Good God Almighty!” Without restraint! There were only two normal size weight ladies in the store at the time. I turned to one of them and asked, “Where’ve all these big folks come from? I’m writing a book, entitled, 'Fat America!' And when it’s published, these folks sure need to buy and read it! Then, may be, they would become ashamed, embarrassed and shed off some of that beef!” the lady laughed. Let’s get real! Men, out there, like looking at slim, uptight, sensual, sexy, sexy dressed, high- heel-shoe- wearing, fragrance- scented females.


In the mean time, let’s try, searching out and making some sort of sense of what's causing this entire not-so-attractive mess! Could it be that fast food restaurants and laziness are the leading culprits? Why hasn’t dieting and body fitness slowed down this unsightly, skyrocketing monster? This is what has moved me to delve deeper into finding out the causal culprits of obesity inundating our country. I discovered the following elements as suspects:

Food and Drink


Just a decade ago, drinking containers were about 16 oz. Now they are about a quart, enough drink for a family of four. Overly supply of food—triple hamburger paddy and cheese, instead of one hamburger paddy and cheese between a hamburger buns. Kids eat a half gallon of their favorite ice cream instead of a half or a pint of ice cream; eat a whole chicken or whole steak instead of a couple of thighs or one half of a steak.

Approximately, two years ago, an England Newspaper talked about how rampant obesity had become throughout England. Particularly, it wrote about how this parent let her 200 pound, eight- year- old boy eat anything he wanted to. When asked why, she said, “Because, if I don’t, he’ll become angry and outraged. “Wouldn’t you rather that happened than for him to become sickly and dead?!” she was asked. “I don’t know! I just want my baby happy!" How sad!

The Greed and Impatience of Agriculture Farmers

The greed and impatience of agriculture farmers are to blame for 99 percent of America's obesity! Animals for human food consumption are injected with growth hormones to expedite the growth process. As our children consume these animal food stuffs these growth hormones are transferred to their bodies, rushing the normal growth process; such as, puberty and, in the case of female children, their menses by four years earlier.

Meanwhile, it was very sad to read about thousands of 5 years old and up children, having non-alcoholic diseased liver, and is awaiting liver transplants due to obesity. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the medical costs of treating obesity-related diseases may have soared as high as $147 billion in 2008. They seem to think that drinks and sugar products are the main cause of obesity; and suggest that placing federal tax on such products would considerably lower the obesity rate in this country.

The reason ninety-nine percent of diets and body fitness are not working in this country, simply, because there’s no product used in these diets is unpolluted. I don’t believe that there’s any such thing as an organic fish farm, animal farm or any sizeable vegetable farm. I doubt if it’s possible to grow a sizable vegetable farm without using some type of insecticide.

Notice, when buying fruits--especially plums--you'll always notice that their surfaces are covered with white insecticide. The government calls this a trace of insecticide and that it's not enough to cause harm to human beings. Likewise, green and other leafy vegetables surfaces are loaded with this insecticide. It is well known through scientific research that insecticides contain cancer-causing agents. Our government knows full well that it impossible for farmers to grow these fruits and vegetables without spraying them to protect them from crop destroying bugs; and, once they're sprayed, the farmers are not going to waste their time trying to
