I eat ok, and my daughter Kate encourages me to be better, which I have been. I don't eat fried food generally and I'm not a big refined flour person. So I wasn't too interested when I learned that there is research going on at the National Institutes of Health and elsewhere about nutrition and specific cancers. 
Yawn. I've got my blueberries, healthy cereal, and I'm trying to increase my protein for energy but beyond that I'm not at all obsessed with food.
At least that's how I felt until I found out that they and other researchers are studying compounds that eats breast cancer cells.
Yes, you heard it - nom nom nom - imagine them chomping away. Pomegranates contain elagic acid - a substance that actually eat breast cancer cells.
Just imagining that is good for us!
Research indicates that it may be though oil from seed that does most of the work, but others feel that one can get the effects from eating the fruit or drinking the juice.
I'm not a pomegranate person but I'm interested enough to read more and keep an open mind.

Note: from cancer consultants:
Several other noteworthy examples of foods with phytochemicals proven to have anticancer properties include cranberries, avocados, and pomegranates...The phenol compounds alone block the action of tumor promoters, thus reducing the load on the immune system
