Pomegranate Juice Helps Manage Blood Pressure; Many Kidney Disease Patients Take Potentially Harmful Supplements
Two studies presented during the American Society of Nephrology's Annual Kidney Week provide new information on dietary benefits and dangers in kidney disease patients.
Patients who drank pomegranate juice also had healthier blood pressure and cholesterol levels and less plaque build-up in their arteries. These results suggest that drinking pomegranate juice might decrease the high rates of illness and death among kidney disease patients.
 
I picked some of this up in the supermarket the other day before putting it straight back down after seeing the carb content.

Isn't fruit juice high on the "naughty list" for diabetics? I've never even had a sip of fruit juice since I was diagnosed.
 
Pomegranits themselves have 17.7 g of carb per 100g may be worth picking the fruit out of the skin :!:

I did that the other day. By the time I'd finished, the kitchen looked like a murder scene (red stuff splashed all over the walls). Not sure I have the patience to do that regularly, I might buy the ready-to-eat ones next time.
 
How to cut down on mess with your poms (which would only raise the blood pressure and hence knacker the whole proceedings).

Cut said pomegranate in half. Hold cut side down over a plate and sharply tap the the outer shell/skin with a spoon. the seeds should just drop out onto the plate.

I am very impressed with that Ladybird does it just knock out the seeds on the outside of the fruit or can you get at them all :?:

I halve my pomegranate then hold a polybag round the half pomegranate and whack the rounded end with a wooden spoon or similiar and the seeds will just fall out of the shells....easy-peasy!
