Question by NA: Can I get any pomegranit benefits from drinking tea with pomegranit in it? I recently picked up "Pomegranit rasberry green tea" at the store. I love it! I dont like pomegranit juice but this tea does not taste like pomegranit. I know that there are amazing benefits to consuming pomegranit, can I get any of those benefits through the tea? Best answer:

ehhhh, "amazing benefits" is probably way overstated just like every other berry/fruit scam out there. Yes you get antioxidants from them and that is good, but they will not transform health or make you lose fat.

Pomegranates are not a magical food. There really are no magical foods. What I suggest you do is read a book on nutrition. When nutritionists tell you that pomegranates are somehow magical...with all kinds of benefits then I will believe it. They are still the people in charge of nutrition in this country.

What benefits do you mean? If you like it, that's a benefit. If it keeps you hydrated, that's a benefit. If you want to get more antioxidants in your diet, that's a benefit too. (Check the ORAC levels to find this out. Like green tea and blueberries, pomegranate has very high antioxidant levels. How much gets into the tea depends on how much juice they use in it.) The thing to watch is other additives. Brewing tea at home, you know what goes in it. With a prepared drink, it's probably got sugar and preservatives thrown in. And for what it's worth, I love pomegranate as a fruit, eating the seeds & everything. The juice I don't like much at all...
