Bought my first 2 Liter carton of Pomegranate & Blueberry juice today, and it's yummy! No sugar added, so I am looking forward to continuing to buy it and drink it, and secretly knowing that I am healthier for it, and could possibly be preventing any possible future risks!
Thank you for posting this, as I have shared with all my family and friends!
I've been eating Pomegranates ever since I was little. I really never knew how beneficial they were for you up until about a month ago. I started buying the cartons of juice now and I absolutely love it! It's more expensive than any ordinary juice; orange, grape, etc. but I think it's well worth it! I've let my friends try it out but they ALL don't seem to like it! They all complain that it's too bitter. But thanks for this.
Great to know it is useful to prevent high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Thanks for the nice article!
I buy the Pomegranite/Blueberry juice and drink at least 8 oz. per day. I even like to make wine spritzers with it. Delicious!

Don't get too excited. The benefits of pomegranate juice need to be weighed up against the extremely high sugar content.
Just one glass is over 100% of the calories you should be getting from sugar in a day.
Just because it's fruit sugar doesn't mean it's not diabetes waiting to happen if you start drinking 2 litres of the stuff a day.

Buy and eat the pomegranates themselves, just don't drink the juice. You'll avoid all the extra sugar.
