Many women stop taking the aromatase inhibitors due to adverse effects such as severe joint pain; so it would be beneficial to find that something natural could produce a similar effect. The question is: how much pomegranate would you have to consume to receive any benefit, and, could this totally replace aromatase inhibitors as part of treatment? In the meantime, it couldn't hurt to keep drinking my pomegranate juice...
