A study done on 48 men who had surgery or radiation therapy to treat localized prostate cancer (prostate cancer that hasn't spread) showed that drinking 8 ounces (around 235 ml) of pomegranate juice daily may slow the prostate cancer growth. As for breast cancer, a new study indicate that eating pomegranates or drinking pomegranate juice may help prevent and slow the growth of some types of breast cancer. The study shows that ellagitannins - a group of phytochemicals found in abundance in pomegranates - inhibit the growth of estrogen-responsive breast cancer.
