Fight colorectal cancer using pomegranates. A new study found that there’s a metabolite in pomegranates that builds up T cells and helps them fight cancer better. It even makes old and damaged T cells stronger and better. It’s looking so promising, that scientists are looking to do human trials using the the metabolites as part of immunotherapies.

Fun facts about pomegranates, the trees they grow on can live up to 200 years. They were also a symbol of fertility in ancient Greece and associated with Aphrodite. They’re also great as a glaze. Since a lot of people are getting hams for the holidays, I thought I’d drop the recipe for Pomegranate Jalapeno Glazed Ham. CLICK HERE for that recipe.
