One of the potent parts of pomegranate juice is its high antioxidant content.
Pomegranates are high in anthocyanins, pigments that give the juice its characteristic colour, and these goodies are rich in antioxidants.
One of the theories is that antioxidants are able to bind with the sugar and prevent a big effect on your insulin levels.
While the mechanisms behind pomegranate juice and blood sugar levels aren’t completely clear, there’s more research backing its effects.
A study, published in the journal Nutrition Research, found that the dark juice was able to lower fasting serum glucose and decrease insulin resistance in those with type 2 diabetes.
