Pomegranates
to the Rescue?
Isn't it wonderful? Women who have had the required 5-year regimen of Tamoxifen will be able to take a new drug to extend their protection. One question is--how does the new drug work and another is--what are the side effects? Newspaper reports say that the drug is an "aromatase inhibitor."
Fine. Now read this--Aromatase is the enzyme that aids in the body's synthesis of estrogen. So, estrogen being potentially carcinogenic, reducing women's estrogen production should be helpful.
"The ability to effect a blockage of endogenous 'within the body] active
estrogen ...synthesis was shown by polyphenols from fermented
and 'unfermented] pomegranate juice...and oil, which
inhibited aromatase activity by 60-80%..." Emphasis added.
