I'd have to kind of agree. All that effort just for a bit of fruit. It tastes quite nice but for the work/taste ratio it's a pretty poor fruit.

It's not good; it's GRAPE!!!  I don't have a scientific answer for you.  I just know it's my favorite taste.

The Pomegranate, Punica granatum, is a species of fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 5-8 m tall.\nSome common diseases affecting are as follows-\nGray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is a fungal disease that can be a serious threat to the pomegranate industry.\n\nFruit spot and fruit rot are the common fungal diseases for which proper and regular spraying are made.\n\nTwig dieback may be caused by either Pleuroplaconema or Ceuthospora Phyllosticta.\n\nDiscoloration of fruits and seeds results from infestation by Aspergillus castaneus.\n\nThe fruits may be sometimes disfigured by Sphaceloma punicae.\n\nDry rot from Phomopsis sp. or Zythia versoniana may destroy as much as 80% of the crop unless these organisms are controlled by appropriate spraying measures.\n\nExcessive rain during the ripening season may induce soft rot.\n\n A post-harvest rot caused by Alternaria solani was observed. \n\nLeaf and fruit spot caused by Cercospora, Gloeosporium and Pestalotia sp.\n\nFruit cracking is a most serious physiological disorder in pomegranate which limits its cultivation.  In young fruits it could be due to boron deficiency but fully grown fruits crack due to moisture imbalances as there are very sensitive to variations in soil moisture and humidity.

I was always told to remember that dried fruit is real fruit.  You wouldn't eat a whole punnet of Apricots would you?  So don't eat a whole packet of dried ones.

Its interesting that you write this.  I can see where you are coming from and I understand the frustrations.  I am not a Christian.  However, you have to remember just because there are a few rotten apples doesn't mean the whole tree is bad.  Christianity has its faults just as any religion.  There are always going to be the ones that piss you off.  Its with any religion, any kind of person.

Fruit's good as long as it's one fruit. If it's Strawberry scent, that's cool. If it's Peach Melon Lemonberry Sugar Pie, no. D:

Well here's something...\n\nRecent research indicates that pomegranate juice has three times the antioxidant activity of red wine and green tea. According to Dr. Murad, it contains anthocyanidins, such as pentoside of malvidin and petunidin, delphinidin 3-glucoside, delphinidin 3,5-glucoside, and cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3,5 diglucoside. The biochemical composition is 35 percent to 40 percent polyphenols and 5 percent to 10 percent ellagic acid. \n\nSeveral years ago, an independent pilot study took place to determine the effect of pomegranate extract on the sun protection factor of volunteers. Eight subjects (five females and three males, ages 18 to 60 with skin type I to III) used pomegranate extract orally and topically. First, he determined the minimal erythema dose (MED). Next, he applied four formulas (standard SPF-4 and SPF-8 lotions with and without pomegranate extract) and assessed MED. Subjects then ingested pomegranate extract daily for five days under supervision. At the endpoint, subjects were again tested for MED. \n\nBased on his research, Dr. Murad said, "You get roughly a 20 percent improvement in SPF, if you include the extract in sunscreen itself. Over and above that, if you take a tablet, you can have an additional 25 percent improvement in SPF." \n\nFor the last four years, he has been recommending pomegranate extract. "Especially to people with a history of actinic keratosis and sun damage," he said. "On a clinical basis, I'm seeing evidence of improvement. Patients have less erythema or it clears more quickly."

Although I have not tried the juice personally, I do eat the actual berries and have done a great deal of research on goji products (I do not sell them!). I chose to eat the berries because they contain essential fatty acids in the seeds, which the juice does not include, and I have actually begun to grow my own goji plants. \n\nIt is true, the hype around goji juice is way over the top, but it is also true that there is a heck of a lot of research backing the berries as very useful natural anti-aging supplements. Probably the main reasons they are touted as having anti-cancer benefits are: there are several studies demonstrating that a component of the berries, the  polysaccharides, have anti-cancer properties and numerous other anti-aging benefits, and the ORAC score (a measure of antioxidants, which are well-known anti-cancer and anti-aging agents) of goji berries is quite high, at around 25,300 (some sources say over 30,000). The thing with the highest ORAC score that we eat traditionally is black raspberries, with a score of 7,700. Next, we have prunes at 5,770, bilberry at 4,460 and pomegranates at 3,307. These are all still very high scores, and it is important to get antioxidants from a variety of sources, as there are different types in different foods. \n\nI could go on about the nutrient and vitamin levels, but don't want to sound too overboard (they are ridiculously nutritious). I believe these fruit should be grown wherever possible (can be grown down to zone 6), and that people should be growing them themselves. The price of the juice is just too much for many people, so I recommend this option, or at least finding a good supply of organic berries instead. Bottom line: goji juice or goji berries may help with certain health conditions (as will eating any healthy food), but if you want to be healthy, you have to eat other healthy foods as well, including many other fruits and vegetables, and stay active!
