Treatment: Daily pomegranate juice battles prostate peril

Those who drank a cup of pomegranate juice daily performed better on their PSA tests, which can be an indicator of their ongoing cancer.

"The study suggests that pomegranate juice may effectively slow the progression of prostate cancer after unsuccessful treatment," Christopher Amling, of the American Urological Association, said.
