Prostate Cancer and Pomegranate Juice

A study that began in 2003 is starting to yield important information regarding men that have undergone standard treatment for prostate cancer. The findings of the study were recently presented at the 104th annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association. The presentation described the trial that included 48 men 60+ years old who underwent radiation therapy or surgery to treat prostate cancer. After treatment, the men in the study all had escalating PSA (Prostate-specific antigen) levels. Men who fail initial prostate cancer treatment show a progressive PSA elevation.

A six-year follow-up of the men who drank eight ounces of pomegranate juice a day revealed that those who continued drinking the juice had lower PSA levels than those who quit drinking the juice and were no longer on the trial.

To your health,
