What's up?
Pomegranate is the healthiest of them all because it contains the most of every type of antioxidant. It wins in all categories. And it's thought that it might do some very good things; it may protect against some cancers, such as prostate cancer. It might also modify heart disease risk factors, and it could be healthy for your heart.

The AUA and American Cancer Society advocate offering men annual screening with serum PSA and DRE starting at age 50 years in the general population and earlier in high-risk men. In studies to examine whether lung cancer screening is beneficial, an important feature of using CT screening was that the screening regimen must be strictly adhered
Scientists report they have blocked the development of prostate tumors in cancer-prone mice by knocking out a molecular unit they describe as a "powerhouse" that drives runaway cell growth. The researchers say the growth-stimulating molecule called p110beta -- part of a cellular signaling network disrupted in several common cancers -- is a promisin
