As your position states, pomegranate "juice" is not paleo food.  
However, I'm not a strict advocate or adherent to a paleo diet being 
interested in the best of diet and what modern science has to offer.  
Having eating a life time of unhealthy food, decreasing IMT thickness 
and reversing plaque are both goals for which I have no evidence that a 
strict paleo diet would have similar benefits.  However, I use 
supplements and rarely drink fruit juices of any kind sticking with 
water only 99% of the time.  Pomegranate extract is something a take 
regularly in significant amounts.
