A member asked:

I know that massaging pomegranate seed oil into my breast would prevent breast cancer, would eating pomegranate also help prevent it?

Misinformed: You may be 'aware' that massaging pomegranate seed into your breasts would prevent breast cancer, but as a physician/pathologist I am not; indeed, I am aware of no scientific evidence to support this notion. I doubt you can eat enough pomegranates to do anything to prevent breast cancer, either. Talk to your physician and don't get your medical advice from unreliable sources.

Pomegranate & CA: Some interesting work is going on in the last few years about pomegranate -- including with breast, lung, colon, prostate, and some other cancers. Here's a review, even though technical: http://tinyurl.Com/l23nvk4 the breast ca work is in vitro, not in live people, though: http://tinyurl.Com/kqv58lp this means it's very preliminary -- yet companies may claim it to sell their products. Be well.
