Pomegranate ranks high as healthy juice

Posted on Jul 09, 2008 by Maggie LaBarbera
 

UCLA did a study and reported the top ten healthiest juices. After all, not all juice is created equal.

So here they are in order of healthiest: 1. Pomegranate juice 2. Red Wine (okay, this is NOT one for the kids) 3. Concord grape juice 4. Blueberry juice 5. Black cherry juice 6. Acai juice 7. Cranberry juice 8. Orange juice 9. Tea 10. Apple juice

So what makes pomegranate juice the best juice? Well according to the study, they took into account the vitamins and antioxidant levels (click here to get the definition), and pomegranate has the most different types of antioxidants to fight off cancer such as prostate cancer and heart disease.

As a good general rule, the more color, the more antioxidants it will have. So berries are another great fruit.

I agree to some extent. I do enjoy reading your blog though. First time I posted, but I'm a lurker for sure! I would agree with the entire post, but never realized these facts.

well, i have to say i had no idea that Pomegranate ranks high as healthy juice, would kids like it? Getting kids to drink healthier drinks can be a challenge with all the food advertising and pressure to eat junk foods. i guess it's a matter of being informed and trying to encourage healthier choices.

Yes, I do agree too with your point of view.Our bodies make their own antioxidants, but they also make use of antioxidants in the foods we eat. Studies have shown there are many benefits from eating plenty of antioxidant-rich foods which, together with an active and balanced lifestyle, can help reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease.
