Introduction

Pomegranate, (Punica granatum L in Latin), belongs to the family Punicaceae which includes only one genus and two species. The tree is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Pomegranate offers abundant benefits for the cardiovascular system by preventing damage to arterial walls, promoting healthy blood pressure levels, improving blood flow to the heart, and preventing or reversing atherosclerosis.

Pomegranate may benefit people with diabetes and those at risk for the disease. It helps lower after-meal blood sugar levels and protects the cardiovascular system from diabetes-induced damage.

Pomegranate shows promise in killing prostate cancer cells, whether the cells are hormone-sensitive or not. Pomegranate also helped halt the progression of prostate cancer in men who had undergone surgery or radiation for the disease.

Pomegranate may fight the degeneration of joint tissue that leads to painful osteoarthritis, and may protect the brain against oxidative stress-induced changes that can lead to Alzheimer’s. Pomegranate extracts—alone or in combination with the herb gotu kola—help kill the bacteria that contribute to dental plaque, while helping to heal gum disease. Pomegranate also appears to protect the health of the skin and liver.

Heidi Wolff discusses her research at the Fall meeting for the Maryland State Beekeepers Association on Urban vs. Rural Apiculture: An Observational Study of Pollen Quality and Content Aim: researching the differences between urban and rural apiaries, namely, looking at the pollen that is collected by the bees. She will sort the pollen and approximate the biodiversity of the available, blooming plants that the bees visit and gather pollen from. She believes that the pollen collected in an urban environment will be more diverse, thus, providing increased dietary breadth for our bees. She will analyze the protein content and pesticide load in the pollen samples as well, in an effort to better understand the nutritional content and impact of the pollen collected.

Presente e in vendita ad Imperia ad Olioliva la Stevia rebaudiana la pianta perenne al centro di aspre polemiche tra i sostenitori delle proprietà di questa pianta dolcificante e chi invece al contrario sosteneva che alcuni componenti erano ritenuti sospetti di cancerogenicità.
Tra gli stand di via Bonfante l’Antico Frantoio Sommariva propone oltre ad olio olive piantine di
Stevia reubaudiana, l’uso di questa pianta nei prodotti alimentari è stato in passato limitato in Europa e USA dato che alcuni suoi componenti, alle dosi testate, come lo steviolo e lo stevioside erano ritenuti sospetti di cancerogenicità.
L’utilizzo della Stevia e dei suoi derivati è stato ammesso dalla Unione Europea, come per l’Italia (Regolamento UE N. 1131/2011 della Commissione dell’11 Novembre 2011)
Il possibile uso della Stevia, in paesi diversi da quelli di origine, ha prodotto notevoli controversie e contestazioni, facendo pensare all’esistenza di una cospirazione commerciale, interessata a contrastarne l’uso, ed a favorire invece i dolcificanti artificiali prodotti dalla grandi multinazionali.
In Italia a sostegno dell’utilizzo di questa pianta è nata un’associazione www.nastevia.it
