What are pomegranates good for?
Researchers report that they are rich in antioxidants that can keep bad LDL cholesterol from oxidizing (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, May 2000).

In addition, pomegranate juice, like aspirin, can help keep blood platelets from clumping together to form unwanted clots. [SOURCE]
Why not have your antioxidants and your calcium in one sitting?
