He added that it may even be able to help prevent CHD in people who do not already suffer from it. Researchers at Hammersmith Hospital in London, UK, are currently involved in research to find out whether pomegranate juice could be an effective prevention measure against heart disease in people with healthy arteries. CHD is the biggest cause of death in many Western countries. In the United States, an estimated 13 million individuals suffer from the condition.
