Are pomegranates really the superfood we've been led to believe will counteract the aging process? Up to now, scientific proof has been fairly weak. And some controversial marketing tactics have led to skepticism as well. A team of scientists from EPFL and the company Amazentis wanted to explore the issue by taking a closer look at the secrets of this plump pink fruit. They discovered that a molecule in pomegranates, transformed by microbes in the gut, enables muscle cells to protect themselves against one of the major causes of aging. In nematodes and rodents, the effect is nothing short of amazing. Human clinical trials are currently underway, but these initial findings have already been published in the journal Nature Medicine.

If I recall, much of the area you lived in had been orchards. Lots of great citrus - mmm.

I like kombucha, but they don’t know what bacteria is responsible.
That is a sort of yeast, I thought.

I have 4 fig trees. They are loaded this year. One is really odd. All were planted the same day by my grandson. 3 are very large but the other one is tiny. We all love figs. Well, shucks. I love any kind of fruit except mangos.

I’ve not gotten a *bad* one. It is normal for the seeds to be hard. I guess it’s just an acquired taste.
As far as the juice, pure pom juice isn’t usually sweetened. I like to mix it 50/50 with orange juice for breakfast.

It'll be a $10bil business in 10 years.
After a run of antibiotics: "Here, take this probiotic capsule for 7 days, and use this suppository on days 3 and 5".

Make yourself a batch of old fashioned sourkraut using organic cabbage and sea salt Heck with that. I make my own Kimchee. That's the uber powerful health food.
There is also a "quick Kimchee" made of green cabbage rather than napa cabbage. It's fair, not really "Kimchee" IMO. Pretty good if you stir fry it with some diced pork or chicken.

So, I guess, at almost 83, I should demand free pompoms as part of Medicare...

In nematodes and rodents, the effect is nothing short of amazing. Just what we always wanted, stronger vermin!
