Pomegranates are super healthy as they have more health benefits than any other fruit, a new research found. An analysis of the glut of global interest in the "superfruit" found it fights Type 2 diabetes, bowel and prostate cancers and improves athletic performance.

A bio-medical researcher and his team said that when they look at the time and effort invested in studies worldwide, pomegranate is the main focus, adding in a year, 194 studies have been published, more than any other fruit. The researcher added that it has evidence that fruit juices and extracts have an impact on wellbeing. He said that the accepted wisdom is that a superfruit is not a cure-all, but fruits can have beneficial health effects and pomegranates are an ancient fruit and have been thought to have health-giving properties for millennia.
