While studies have shown that individuals with high blood pressure had twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, this wasn't enough for me to believe that pomegranate juice while it may decrease blood pressure, would have an effect on the development of Alzheimer's disease. In digging around a little more, I found that there has been some research in animal studies showing that when rats bred to develop Alzheimer's were given pomegranate juice, they developed less of the amyloid plaque which is associated with Alzheimer's and were able to perform mental tasks better.
This research tends to make me think that drinking pomegranate juice is not a bad thing, and if you have a history of Alzheimer's disease in your family, I would highly recommend it.
