Their big and clumsy looking, but when broken open the pomegranate bares little red goodies that may be cancer stopping. According to a new study that has been released it is now suggested that pomegranates and pomegranate juice may help prevent and stop breast cancer.

The study was headed up by the Breast Cancer Research Program at City of Hope and according to researchers it is the ellagitannins that are found in the fruit that can have a growth preventing effect on the estrogen-responsive breast cancer. While there has only been controlled tests on this to date, the group plans on further studies.

This comes as no shock to the fruit eating community as health food stores everywhere have been touting the pomegranate as the new ’super food’ citing its outstanding source of vitamins and antioxidants as the main reason for the classification. If the study and further studies are confirmed then it will certainly be worthy of the super title.

ThinkPinker.com urges everyone to eat healthy as a good diet and a normal weight have already been proven effective in the fight against breast cancer. If you have not already incorporated this delicious fruit into your diet, go ahead and do so. It can’t hurt and as far as research is pointing it may actually help.
