What's the benefits of pomegranate?I was told that I didn't have to take cholesterol pills,if I was taking pom

Very high in anti-oxidants, like 100 times as much as blueberries, which are way ahead of everything else.

I have not heard that, but a low fat diet is very good also.  The very low fat diet may be better than either.

Anti-oxidants help prevent bad cholesterol from becoming tied into plaques and building bigger blockages.

Here is a couple abstracts from research studies:

*Analyses of fresh juice sacs made by various investigators.

Medicinal Uses: The juice of wild pomegranates yields citric acid and sodium citrate for pharmaceutical purposes. Pomegranate juice enters into preparations for treating dyspepsia and is considered beneficial in leprosy.

The bark of the stem and root contains several alkaloids including isopelletierine which is active against tapeworms. Either a decoction of the bark, which is very bitter, or the safer, insoluble Pelletierine Tannate may be employed. Overdoses are emetic and purgative, produce dilation of pupila, dimness of sight, muscular weakness and paralysis.

Because of their tannin content, extracts of the bark, leaves, immature fruit and fruit rind have been given as astringents to halt diarrhea, dysentery and hemorrhages. Dried, pulverized flower buds are employed as a remedy for bronchitis. In Mexico, a decoction of the flowers is gargled to relieve oral and throat inflammation. Leaves, seeds, roots and bark have displayed hypotensive, antispasmodic and anthelmintic activity in bioassay
