It’s the biggest 1)fad in fruit. But can too much of a good thing
actually hurt you? Maya Sanchez shows us why the power-packed 2)pomegranate may be too 3)potent.
It’s emerged as a mega hit with the 4)hip, health-conscious crowd.
Consumer A: I feel like there are so many healthy 5)antioxidants and it’s so good for your health, your skin, your age.
Those with a passion for pomegranates 6)rave about its benefits, everything from decreasing your chances of cancer to lowering your 7)cholesterol.
Consumer B: My cholesterol level use to be actually pretty
high, and it’s actually gone down to like really good levels, like the good cholesterol…cholesterol’s up, bad
cholesterol’s down. So I mean I think it definitely helps.
But this juicy fruit’s 8)reputation is getting the 9)squeeze by some medical professionals who say its power-packed juice can interfere with cholesterol lowering drugs. Now a major US pomegranate producer Pom Wonderful says the fruit is getting a 10)bad rap.
Pom Wonderful spokesman: We believe that that’s absolutely not true and in all the studies that have been conducted on pom, there have been no reported incidents of any safety at all.
Doctors at the Center for Integrative Medicine in Tarzana
agree. But they say 11)concentrated pomegranate juice is so potent it can lower blood pressure. They encourage patients to consult their physician or 12)pharmacist before beginning a 13)regiment of the 14)succulent berry.
15)Advocates of pomegranate juice say your best bet is not exceeding a daily 16)dose of about eight ounces. There’s no disputing that 17)in moderation this 18)luscious jewel of a fruit can really be health’s angel.
这是水果领域最狂热的流行趋势。不过，好东西吃多了，是不是也会有害？玛雅·桑切斯向我们展示了魔力无穷的石榴也可能有功效过猛之嫌。
它让时尚潮人和健康一族疯狂着迷。
消费者甲：我认为石榴含有很多抗氧化剂，对健康非常有益，能让皮肤焕发光彩，使你永葆青春。
那些疯狂迷恋石榴的消费者对它的各种益处津津乐道，从降低癌症患病几率到降低胆固醇，不一而足。
消费者乙：以前我的胆固醇水平非常高，（吃了石榴之后，）它就降到了非常好的水平，好的胆固醇量上升了，不好的胆固醇量降低了。所以，我的意思是，石榴对健康确实颇有益处。
然而，这种多汁水果的声誉遭到一些医学专家的质疑；他们称这种功能强大的水果汁液会干扰降低胆固醇的药物发挥药效。现在，美国一家主要石榴汁生产商“Pom Wonderful”说石榴这种水果遇到了不公正的宣传。
“Pom Wonderful”公司发言人：我们认为这种言论是完全错误的，而且在所有针对石榴进行的研究中，没有报告过任何一起安全隐患方面的事件。
洛杉矶塔扎那区合成医药中心的医生们同意这个观点。不过，他们指出，浓缩石榴汁非常有效，足以起到降低血压的作用。他们建议病人在定期饮用这种多汁浆果（汁）前应先咨询医生或者药剂师。
石榴汁的拥趸们说，最佳食用剂量为每天不超过八盎司（约237毫升）。无庸置疑的是，只要用量适度，这种甘美的水果宝石就能成为你的健康天使。
