Pomegranate juice is remarkably rich in antioxidants, such as soluble polyphenols, tannins, and anthocyanins, which scavenge free radicals and help prevent DNA damage that can lead to a number of serious health conditions. It is also believed to have antiatherosclerotic properties, as studies in Israel have shown that the fruit juice, taken daily, prevented the thickening of arteries and slowed down cholesterol oxidation by almost half (Clin Nutr. 2004 Jun;23(3):423-33).

© 2005 Elsevier (Am J Cardiol 2005;96:810-814). After 3 months, the extent of stress-induced ischemia decreased in the pomegranate group but increased in the control group. This benefit was observed without changes in cardiac medications, blood sugar, hemoglobin A1c, weight, or blood pressure in either group. In conclusion, daily consumption of pomegranate juice may improve stress-induced myocardial ischemia in patients who have CHD. (Small sample; further study warranted with quantitative coronary arteriography + intravascular ultrasound.)

Matti Narkia on 25 Feb 09

Pomegranate fruit extracts have been shown to block enzymes that contribute to cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis, a condition that currently has little perspective for treatment. The findings, although still at a preliminary stage not yet proven in humans, are likely to encourage further consumption of pomegranate juice in the UK, where sales have rocketed in the last year thanks to media coverage of its antioxidant content.

Orange juice: Attendees were informed that 22 samples of orange juice were tested for 54 pesticide residues.  Three of the samples were imported from non-EC countries and 19 were of unknown origin.  None of the samples contained any residues from those sought.  None of the samples was labelled as organic. One member asked whether both fresh and UHT samples were included in the survey.  The Secretariat confirmed that this was the case, and agreed to add a statement to the introduction for this commodity.

The University of Main posts valuable information on this topic at http://www.umext.maine.edu/onlinepubs/htmpubs/4336.htm. Based on their research, they recommend soaking produce in distilled water for 1-2 minutes. They tested commercial produce washes, and found no benefit over the use of distilled water.

veggie & fruit washes: for years,i have felt confident in the info i heard that E-COLI & SALMONELLA, as well as waxes & other residues are neutralized by bathing items in a bowl of water, as pure as possible, and "A SWIG" of un-filtered APPLE CIDER VINEGAR... the key is the concentration of the "mother" floating in the un-filtered variety... 2 minutes to soak, then a bathing rinse in pure water.. only wash what you plan to eat within 12-18 hours, as wilting will occur on more delicate veggies...

Washing fruits and vegies that are not organically grown. Use a large receptical or pot - fill halfway with filtered water, or authentic spring water, add a heaping spoon of Kosher salt, 1/8 cup lemong juice (this mixture creates hydrochloric acid). This combination of "do-it-yourself home remedy" works better than store bought washes. I generally add, for additional protection, if there is such a thing - 3 Tbsps vinegar

A couple of months ago I heard a piece on NPR about a study on commercial fruit/veggie washes. While they didn't test plain water alone, they tested fancy veggie wash vs. white vinegar vs. a quick polish with a cloth. The vinegar cleaned the best, and also had anti-microbial effects. So I'm using white vinegar followed by a water rinse now.

I personally wouldn't use hydrogen peroxide to wash my produce -- it's linked to neurotoxicity, organ toxicity, and cancer, and its use is restricted in Canadian lip products. Here's the Skin Deep report for that ingredient.

For fragile fruits and veggies, such as lettuces, or soft skinned fruit like peaches, etc. two minutes is long enough for a wash. The harder skinned items such as apples, Qs, tomatoes, etc. for 5-minutes. After this wash, rinse thoroughly with filtered water, pat dry with a clean dish cloth. It is well advised to peel those food items with skins on them. As for the more perishable ones like leafy or tender vegies, wash only before consuming, and only what you intend to eat at the tiem. Pat dry with a paper towel or cloth. Additonally, if you consume ORGANIC fruits and vegies, wash them as well with filtered water and vinegar and rinse clean just before consumption. This cleans off the grit and any tiny creatures left on them. If you can afford to pay a little extra, buy ORGANIC. IT IS HEALTHIER FOR YOUR BODY.
