pom juice BAD for you???

in TTC After a Loss

I posted on my bebbeh-makin' blog about drinking pomegranate juice to try to give my uterine lining a boost - one of the comments was that this person had heard that although pom juice is good for male fertility, it's actually bad for female fertility.

Anyone heard of this? I can't find anything on Google - when I look for "pomegranate juice and fertility" I only find info on how it's good for male fertility (female fertility isn't mentioned at all, either good or bad). I don't see how it would negatively affect me - am I wrong?

    Nope, she just said that's what her friends told her (apparently she likes pomegranates?).

    I will! I'm going to keep drinking it, just because I simply don't see HOW it could negatively affect fertility - it is loaded with antioxidants (isn't that the part of green tea that can interfere with folic acid absorption?), but that's about it. But let me know if you find anything about it!

    In teh middle east the pomegranate is actually known as the fertile fruit.  It is attributed to decreasing chances of miscarriage and given to to help recoop when you do have one.  The name for pomegranate in the middle east means something to the effect of "little female eggs"/ovaries.

    All I can find so far is good.... it's got triple the antioxidants of green tea, its a good source of folic acid, it increases sex drive ... I'll keeping looking regarding fertility though.

    apparently there was a study in female rats showing decreased fertility but they were getting ridiculous amounts/body size. 

    i figure a fruit that's a fertility symbol in so many cultures can't be bad...
