Pomegranates or pomegranate are now beginning to lots sold and packaged in bottles as a beverage. Besides rich in vitamin c, fruit of this one also has the ability to fight prostate cancer cells that attack the man. 

Pomegranate juice has been proven by scientists from the University of California to improve the health of people with prostate cancer and natural medicine to prevent prostate cancer. 

Manuela martins and colleagues say that pomegranate juice may cause testosterone prostate cells metastasize. When cells were injected pomegranate, an increase in adhesion (attraction between cells) cancer cells. 

That's a sign that fewer cells break away and make them less likely to spread and migrating cells in the body. 

In addition, pomegranate juice also inhibits the formation of new tumors by inhibiting the function of cell proteins. Thus, this juice has the potential to prevent metastasis of prostate cancer cells to the bone.

According to the researchers, there are four active ingredients in pomegranate juice that has the molecules to fight cancer cells such as phenylpropanoids, hydrobenzoic acid, flavone and conjugated fatty acids. 

"Because the genes and proteins involved in the movement of prostate cancer cells are essentially similar to those involved in the movement of other types of cancer cells, the components can be modified so that it has a broader impact in the treatment of cancer," hope martin. 

Indeed, until now there is no medicine that can cure prostate cancer. Typically, the patient is only treated with surgery or radiation testosterone.
