Re: Is pomegranate the culprit?
I have a glass of sour cherry it's supposed to give you a sunnier disposition, and seems to work but yes I am a bit gassy with it. As my entire diet is vegetarian and I love beans it was with amazement I realised I could be gassier than normal too ! Must be something in the fruit I guess.

Triggering the pleasure receptors in the brain to make you feel great.
POM Wonderful (the one with the curvy bottle) is 14% sugar.
That's 14g sugar per 100ml of product. Horrendous.
The bottle is 710ml in total which means there are 99.4g of sugar in that one bottle.
In more realistic terms that's 25 teaspoonfuls of sugar.
Small wonder it seems to taste great.
As for health benefits . . . it's a complete lie. In terms of the juice that is.
Like so many fruits, the FRUIT ITSELF most certainly IS very healthy but the health comes from the fibre and vitamins in it and those are all discarded to make pommy juice.
You're simply getting all the sugars of the fruit and none of the fibre. Same as Apple juice and orange juice.
The health benefits touted by advertising are simply false. It's just yet another way to market sugar, a hugely unhealthy ingredient that messes and disrupts lots of the body's functions and will just make you fat and ultimately unwell. Sugar is highly addictive and the manufacturers know this which is why they look for endless ways to sell us sugar in disguise.
Have a read of this article for confirmation:
POM Wonderful: Fruit juice is not the same as fruit

Re: Is pomegranate the culprit?
You should be eating the whole fruit , the seeds are packed with goodness and safe to eat . The pomegranate arils (seeds) are also sweet, with one cup containing 24 grams of sugar and 144 calories. ... They are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals and bioactive plant compounds, but they also contain some sugar.If you just have the juice yes it contains Vit C and high in sugar . All fruit juices contain sugar . One pomegranate 230cals .
You could change to kiwi friut low in calories and bursting with goodness. I eat them like a boiled egg slice off the top and scoop out .

I remember doing that when we were kids, Ripple.
We used to sit and pick the seeds out with a pin. Kept us quiet for ages.
Come to think of it, that was probably the idea!
