>>>Actually, I drink a glass of pomegranate every day, although I use a different cheaper brand. It helps heart health. It is one facet of my diet, exercise and medication which has improved my cholesterol to normal levels.

If you have a juicer that squeezes instead of blends, you can make your own pomegranite juice -- fresh! It's wonderful. Anti-oxidant heaven. Just peel the pomegranite while watching TV and collect all the little seeds that are surrounded by purple juicy pulp. Dump those in the juicer, turn on the squeezer, and out come large glasses of delightful drink.

The POM brand has an excellent taste, but not as good as fresh. The unfortunate thing about POM brand is its high cost: $5 or more for a little bottle.

I wonder if there's a pomegranite wine with great heart health benefits?

Thanks for the fresh pomegranate idea. We have been thinking about getting a juicer. I buy my pomegranate juice at a store named Trader Joes. It is much less expensive than POM brand yet claims to be pure pomegranate.
