The research is inconclusive about the relationship between phytoestrogens and ovarian cancer. There was an interesting article earlier this year about this topic: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/2....

Regarding the pomegranate question, I’m not aware of anything that suggests it can cause ovarian cancer. There is some research being done in laboratory settings that suggest it may actually have therapeutic uses in treating ovarian cancer. But it is a long way from being approved as a treatment option.
