Pomegranate juice may reduce birth defect (June 28, 2005) -- A U.S. study finds that drinking pomegranate juice may reduce the severity of some brain injuries associated with premature births.

Lead researcher Dr. Stephen Back of the Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine-Portland and colleagues identified some of the key factors that prevent brain damage repair in premature babies and patients with multiple sclerosis or certain other neurological diseases.
