Pomegranates have been everywhere for the last few years. From the juice to the pills to the all important Pom-tini. We have been gobbling it down with the knowledge that it is clearing our arteries and saving us from heart disease. Yes please, I will have another Pomtini, it is for my health.
Well put that glass down (yes I know the alcohol isn't good for you, really I do) because it appears that the POM company has been fibbing a bit in their claims of super duper healthdom.
There apparently is no scientific evidence that proves the claims of the wonder liquid according to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The POM company disputes these findings from the FTC.
Me??? Just pass me the limes and the tequila. I'll be fine.
Deja vu! Hubby bought a few of these this week. Their a bugger to prepare to eat, but the seeds are nice once you get to them.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. I'll have to go back to my apple martini's!

Oh Crantini's all the way for me. Actually lets just drop the fruit, and drink the booze.
