the REAL Truth about GOJI JUICE..tsk tsk...

[uls]

sick people feel better after drinking fruit juice coz sick people usually have nutritional deficiencies

that's it

sick people who take pharma drugs but do not eat right don't get well

pharma drugs do not cure deficiencies

the right food does

there's nothing special about goji

it's just a fruit juice

clinical study :P

[uls]

from the above link:

Conclusions: These results clearly indicate that daily consumption of GoChi for 14 days increases subjective feelings of general well-being, and improves neurologic/psychologic performance and gastrointestinal functions. The data strongly suggest that further research is indicated to confirm and extend knowledge of the potential effects of Lycium barbarum upon human health.

and, if you eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, you also will have feelings of general well-being and improved neurologic/psychologic performance and gastrointestinal functions

i would like to see clinical tests on really sick people

like let Cory Aquino drink goji and see if she'll walk out of Makati med

The problem i see with similar businesses is that the people who are selling the products normally use scientific/technical jargon that they don't understand or use anecdotal situations that are hard to objectively verify.

[uls]

goji pushers are promoting its high antioxidant level

want high antioxidants?

take 2 grams of generic vitamin C a day

Rhea 500mg tablets cost less than P2 each

Same with people selling fuel saving gadgets and additives.

Same goes with RED JUICE. Sells for over P2000 at Mercury Drug (over the counter).

Fern C is overpriced vitamin C

ok, so it is non acidic (sodium ascorbate)

you can buy other brands of sodium ascorbate at a fraction of the price of Fern C

if you can tolerate high doses of ascorbic acid, no need for non-acidic vitamin c
