The "old" news is that doctors, scientists and researchers around the globe have known about pomegranate's amazing natural heart health properties for years. In the article, "Powerful Protection for Aging Arteries—and Much More" (read the article) author Tiesha D. Johnson, BSN, RN states, " Although cardiovascular disease remains the nation’s number-one killer, American medicine prioritizes heart disease treatment rather than prevention. Sadly, it has become far more profitable to treat heart disease than to prevent it.

Fortunately, natural strategies that can help avert life-threatening heart attacks and strokes are readily available today. One of the most promising heart-protective agents to emerge in recent years is pomegranate. Packed with unique antioxidants that guard the body’s endothelial cells against free-radical assault, pomegranate has been shown to prevent—and even reverse—cardiovascular disease."

Remember what I said about knowledge equaling power?

Now for the "new"- a few weeks ago a study was published in the Jan. issue of Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. (read the study) The finding was that natural compounds in pomegranates may prevent the growth of hormone-dependent breast cancer. "Pomegranates contain ellagitannins- compounds that appear to slow the growth of breast cancer cells and estrogen-responsive tumors." According to Gary Stoner, Ph.D., a professor in the department of Internal Medicine at Ohio State University, "people might consider consuming more pomegranate to protect against cancer development in the breast and in other tissues and organs."

By the way, there's tons of research on pomegranate and prostate health, too. Just "Google" it.

Luckily for us all, Pure Inventions Pomegranate with Acai Berry is a pure, natural concentration of this amazing superfruit. Just drop it in your water or mix it in with your yogurt or protein shake everyday to reap its rewards!

"We think Pure Inventions' products are so great, we just can't stop spreading the word!" says Dot Fleshman, Spa Director for the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. "These extracts are, hands down, our best-selling retail products. We tripled our last order just to keep them in stock. In just four and a half months, we sold 255 units!"

Spa guests at this luxury hotel are pampered with a cup of the Tranquility tea at the end of a service, and Massage Therapist Kamren Holbert is always asked if they sell the tea. "My clients continually comment on the delicious taste," Holbert states. "I routinely provide them with the pamphlets and leave a bottle at the retail desk for them to purchase upon checkout."

In addition to the Tranquility tea, the Four Seasons St. Louis also carries Pure Inventions Green Tea Extracts, all three fruit extracts (Cranberry, Blueberry and Pomegranate), the Fit and Slender and the Chocolate Cocoa.

Spa Coordinator Nichole Renneker adds, "These extracts are a great way to get hydrated without adding sugar and calories, and they all taste delicious too."
