  If you can afford to take only one natural anti-aging substance, I'd say pomegranate juice might be the

  right choice. Why?

  Every day seems to bring more good news: it fights leukemia, it prevents hardening of arteries and

  heart disease, it may stop periodontal disease better than commercial drugs, and it may contain

  natural ACE inhibitors against high blood pressure.

  see:

  I can testify to the periodontal effects. If you floss your teeth regularly and your gums bleed,

  you may be surprized at how this can change! These bacteria are also implicated in heart

  disease, so that's another benefit.

  Perhaps the tree of life was a pomegranate tree! Wasn't that the tree that shaded Moses after his long walk in the desert?

  and note that one claim : it may reverse atherosclerosis. This has been considered impossible!

  The Life Extension Foundation is a great resource for reliable and accurate info regarding supplements and nutrients. They have more MD's on thier board then naturepaths and nutritionists. I have been a member for almost ten years now and thier magazine has some facinating info.

  Besides pomagranate is some very yummy stuff and costs less then mangosteen.

  I'm planning to buy me some of this http://www.jamiesonvitamins.com/en/products/prodvitamins_095.aspx

  may not be as good as the juice itself, but at least there are no calories!

  There aren't many calories in fruit juice anyway only around 400 - 600 per litre depending on the fruit. The big drug companies are accused of suppressing alternative or natural therapies in order to promote their own products. I suppose this is true in many cases. They spent so much money to develop their drugs and they don't want to see them becoming dead stock in their warehouses.

  I totally agree. Big pharmaceutical companies cannot patent what nature provides, so they lobby to have them labeled as dangerous. I also take goji berries, snack on pecans, sprinkle hemp and flax seeds on my oatmeal/pancakes. I have been substituting pomegranate juice for cranberry juice in my vodka cosmo's for a long time!!!!!!!!!!!
