If you go out of your way to buy pomegranate or acai juice because they are packed with powerful anti-oxidants, here's two words for you from the Wall St Journal, New Respect for a Humble Juice.
Apple juice.
Even better, apple cider.
(The best - cold apple cider with warm apple cider donuts.)
Far from being just "sugar water" as some pediatricians have said, new research shows "thousands" of phyto-chemicals in apple juice, mainly in the peel, some of which retard tumor growth, most of which work together in a synergy on different parts of the body.
Studies at Cornell University's Department of Food Science have found that the unique combination of thousands of phytochemicals in apples -- mainly concentrated in the peel -- retard tumor growth in cell cultures and in animals. In particular, apples are high in triterpenoids, which have "very potent activity in tumor cell growth," says lead researcher Rui Hai Liu.
