"We all know that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but can eating pomegranates delay the progression of these two neurological diseases? Researchers at the University of Huddersfield in England have spent two years analyzing the effects of punicalagin, a compound contained in pomegranates, on rats. Their studies have shown that the compound treats inflammation of the brain, so it could put the breaks on degeneration from Alzheimer&amp;#039;s and Parkinson&amp;#039;s diseases.  The researchers are now working with chemists to see if a drug containing this compound could be made. They&amp;#039;re also looking into how much punicalagin is in these fruits, and how much you&amp;#039;d need to eat to get an effective dose of the compound.  Although punicalagin can&amp;#039;t completely halt or prevent these brain diseases, it&amp;#039;s possible that it could help at-risk people who haven&amp;#039;t yet been diagnosed. Will you be buying more pomegranates? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
