With over 200 food choices to make every day it is difficult to sort through claims produced by food manufacturers to make the best choice for your health. Today we’ll tackle the issue of fruit juices: health or hype As part of its ongoing efforts to uncover over-hyped health claims in food advertising, the Federal Trade Commission has issued an administrative complaint charging the makers of POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice with making false and unsubstantiated claims that their products will prevent or treat heart disease, prostate cancer, and erectile dysfunction.

The acid in things like sports drinks and fruit juices can eventually strip the enamel. We already knew that things like soda and coffee can wreak havoc on our pearly whites as well. While I understand that health officials need to caution the public against dangers, I also think some of these studies go a bit too far. After all, what are we supposed to drink? Milk and water alone? The best bet is to use moderation in all we do. Image: sxc.hu.

I love juice. As someone who really can’t be bothered with peeling oranges,  slicing up mangos, or grating carrots, I find having a jug of juice in the fridge a matter of necessity. But, as usual, it turns out that what I think is good for me might not necessarily be so. According to this WebMD slideshow, there are three diverse sides to juice - the good, the bad, and the ugly - and how to spot the differences. The Good - Vegetable Juices which have far less sugar and fewer calories than fruit juices The Bad - Fruit juices might be the real deal full of vitamins and anti-oxidants but they are also naturally full of calories and sugars. The Ugly - anything labeled juice cocktail, juice-flavoured beverage or juice drink. Odds are they will only contain minor amounts of the real...

The fruit benefits your cardiovascular system, and also has been shown to help with Alzheimer's, cancer and even erectile dysfunction. And it's a better source of flavonoids than red wine, green tea or blueberry juice. And the best news is, you don't have to buy that expensive juice at the supermarket -- chances are you can grow pomegranates in your backyard. It's a fairly low-maintenance plant. To learn more about the pomegranate, check out Wikipedia.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments (Source: The Cardio Blog) The Cardio Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=760481 Thu, 26 Jul 2007 04:00:00 +0100 760481 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=735120&cid=t_137519_137_f&fid=35357&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAlzheimersNotes%2F%7E3%2F133816070%2F Remember the saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’. Well, it might not be the only thing it keeps away. Studies in the past few years have been looking into whether consuming apples helps reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. In 2005 researchers at Cornell University determined that the potent compounds in apples appear to ‘…protect the brain from damage and may even help to ward off Alzheimer’s disease’. (An Apple a Day for Alzheimer’s) In 2006 research at the University of Masschusetts Lowell found that ‘…apple juice consumption may actually increase the production in the brain of the essential neurotransmitter acetycholine, resulting in improved memory’.
