![]() Sounds like you have a sharp doc…one who keeps up-to-date with the newest information on prostate cancer care! Good for him/her, and more importantly good for you ! ![]() A lot of guys here take the pomegranate extract pills instead of the juice for various reasons: to avoid sugars, don’t like the juice taste (that’s my reason #1), easier to regulate daily intake (my reason #2), etc. To your original question, imtls, one thing for you to be aware of that I’ve read is that if you are using a pomegranate blend is to make sure it is 100% pure, with no added sugars, as the added sugars can take away from the antioxidant effect. This news from ASCO was exciting and wonderful news to the prostate cancer community!!! ![]() (A number of study participants actually had their PSAs decline.) ![]() The Carducci study was independent confirmation of the favorable impact on slowing PSADT as a measurement of PC progression. I’m guessing that you are already aware that at last year’s American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO) conference, the findings of the pomegranate/PC benefits under study in a Phase II trail (by Dr Michael Carducci from highly respected Johns Hopkins) were judged to be so important that they adjusted the conference schedule to allow for oral presentation of interim results. The bigger differences is likely from those who take pomegranate of any variety versus those who don’t take pomegranate to help slow PC progression. Imtls, I cannot directly answer your question with a “yes” or “no,” and I suspect that a clear answer to this narrow question is unknown today, but I suspect that there might be only marginal differences (but I doubt this aspect has been studied in depth). If you have any knowledge on this subject, I would appreciate your comments. I have also been eating healthier over this time period. My PSA scores have dropped from 4.34 to 3.73 (over a 9 month period) after starting to drink pomegranate juice. Is there any reason NOT to purchase the 60 ounce POM bottle at Costco instead of the 32 ounce Lakewood bottle? I recently found a 60 ounce POM 100% pomegranate juice (from concentrated) on sale at Costco for almost the same price I was paying for the 32 ounce bottle at Whole Foods. The bottle holds 32 ounces of pomegranate juice. ![]() serving of Lakewood 100% pomegranate juice (not from concentrate) purchased at a local Whole Foods store. It seems the processing that goes into creating the concentrate followed by more processing turning the concentrate back into a liquid may not be as healthy as obtaining pure squeezed pomegranate juice (not from concentrate). I am wondering if 100% Pomegranate juice (NOT FROM concentrate) is nutritionally better than 100% Pomegranate juice (FROM concentrate). ![]()
