Is Goji Juice Really as Good as it is Being Promoted As?
That’s the million-dollar question
being asked, and answered, in this
video, which exposes the truth about the latest health craze sweeping
across Canada and into the United States.
Goji juice is hyped as the cure-all remedy for 34 different ailments,
including
arthritis,
diabetes
and
cancer.
But the truth is both shocking and
infuriating, as they uncover the lack of nutritional value of the goji
juice in
the lab.
Earl
Mendel—the well-respected author of the Vitamin Bible—is the face
of Himalayan Goji, and he’s making some pretty hefty claims about the
berry. And that’s the problem. Upon probing, he admits he’s talking
about the berry—not necessarily the juice!
Himalayan Goji juice is not sold in stores, but rather through a
multi-level
marketing plan. At about $50 per bottle, there’s lots of money being made,
but there does not seem to be enough proof to back up the amazing health
claims of the juice itself.
