Green tea

For the 2003 Chinese film, see Green Tea (film).

Green tea (simplified Chinese: 绿茶; traditional Chinese: 綠茶; pinyin: lǜchá; Japanese: 緑茶; ryokucha) is a "true" tea, meaning it is made solely with the leaves of Camellia sinensis, that has undergone minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea originates from China and has become associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan to the Middle East. Recently, it has become more widespread in the West, where black tea is traditionally consumed. Many varieties of green tea have been created in countries where it is grown that can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, processing and harvesting time. Over the last few decades green tea has begun to be subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long purported health benefits, with some evidence suggesting regular green tea drinkers may have lower chances of heart disease and contracting certain types of cancer.^{m po';ghmn}

Goji Scam?

Source: Passion for Health
In January 2007, Earl Mindell was lambasted by CBC Marketplace in a fascinating interview and exposé for allegedy taking advantage of sick folks to make huge profits selling goji juice. His business empire is massive. His goji meetings are like religious events with Mindell as “master.” His product—Freelife “Himalayan” Goji Juice is actually made from berries not grown in the Himalayas! His reasoning is that the “unique” polysaccharide profile is the same as the Himalayan sort. Hmmm I don’t like that kind of thing. Either it’s Himalayan or it aint. Mindell claims that only his juice has the exact profile of these “master” molecules “There simply is no other product on the market like it.” He also claims he’s going to close half the hospitals!

To use Freelife (a pyramid marketed product with top sellers making $170,000 - $1,700,000 a year according to freelife), expect to shell out $50 per bottle or about $250 for a months supply. I feel sad. This smacks of exploiting sick people. Can folks not get the benefit of goji berries that doesn’t involve a $250 per month cost? The Marketplace program said that many of his claims are false. In lab tests, his juice contained virtually no B or E vitamins and no beta carotene. The lab tests also found his “unique” product to be similar to other juices. Mindell responded by citing 76 peer reviewed studies that support his health claims. He’s written a book on Goji that lists 34 health benefits—even that it prevents cancer.

Dr. Steven Zegar, who researches natural health products for cancer treatment at McMaster University has reviewed many of the goji studies. He says Mindell has extrapolated bits of these studies and is using them out of context. The polysaccharides could have health benefits but there’s little proof to back up the hype. Dr Bradlow of Hackensack University in New Jersey said “It inhibited the growth of cells in a dish… a little dish like this isn’t the same as a person.”

“There’s absolutely no proof it would have that effect on a human… there’s no justification for encouraging people to take this as an anti-cancer drug… it’s misrepresentation of the facts… it’s unbelievable how many unscrupulous souls there are out there, trying to pedal an unproven product… there’s lots of single studies that turned out to be one shot wonders.”

In Mindell’s defense, I reckon goji berries do have cancer preventing qualities. Plant food in general have been shown in many studies to have anti-cancer properties and antioxidants are known to “mop up” free radicals which can cause DNA damage. Since goji is a highly nutritious berry, it’s fair to say that it has anti-cancer properties. Unfortunately for Mindell, you just can’t say it without proof. Also, his juice is lacking many of the health benefits of the berry itself. Surely if he really wanted the best for people, he would be recommending the berries and not his extremely expensive juice? Also in Mindell’s defense, it’s mainly the polysaccharides that he’s promoting in his juice. But again I have to ask why not just eat the berry and get the other benefits as well at a much reduced cost?

In the Marketplace interview, he urges folks to go to www.pubmed.gov and do a search for “Lycium Barbarum” (the latin name for goji berries). Well I did just that–83 results of studies relating to goji or its extracts (to put this into perspective, I did a search on pubmed for broccoli that came up with 5416 studies). So, a few more have been added since the Marketplace interview. Having a quick flick through, three things sprung to mind. Firstly, not many people will have a clue how to interpret these studies. To pick one purely at random… “Effect of lycium barbarum polysaccharide on human hepatoma QGY7703 cells: inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis.” Brain freeze!!

I’m sure you’re dying to know what the outcome of that particular study was eh? Well, “The study suggests that the induction of cell cycle arrest and the increase of intracellular calcium in apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative activity of LBP in QGY7703 cells.” Phew, I’m glad we cleared that up!

Secondly, a lot of these studies are just not relevant to the claims made by Mindell… stuff like “How to extract the polysaccharides” and so on. Thirdly, most of these studies were done in China. Call me a cynic but the Chinese would have a lot to gain from goji acquiring a reputation for healing cancer and other illnesses.

TAHITIAN NONI JUICE EXPOSED ON CBS

TAHITIAN NONI JUICE EXPOSED ON CBS, BY DAVID GOLDSTEIN

Noni Juice: Miracle Or False Hope In A Bottle? (17/2/2006)

(CBS) LOS ANGELES They call it a miracle in a bottle. It is the Tahitian Noni juice, a fruit juice that’s taking America by storm. But is it a miracle or just hype? The so-called miracle is a prickly, stinky fruit from Polynesia. Tahitian Noni International based in Utah is the biggest seller of the Noni juice, which they claim promotes good health.

We took a hidden camera into a meeting for sales distributors in Costa Mesa. It sounded like money is growing on trees, at least, the Noni tree. Sales of Tahitian Noni juice are in the billions. “Every 1.7 seconds somebody buys a bottle of Tahitian Noni juice,” one salesman told us.

So why all the hype? We went undercover to find out. We invited two of their distributors, Dee Strubb and Jeanette Bush to our house in Orange County.

They immediately started sharing their stories of medical miracles, testimonials like the woman who was badly burned in an accident. According to Bush, that woman applied massive Noni on the burn and had her wedding in a strapless gown.

Bush’s mother, who supposedly had macular degeneration, recovered when she drank Tahitian Noni juice. “It brought back her eyesight,” she told us.

Then there’s the story of the AIDS patient who survived. We asked if there have been any studies on what it does for HIV. Strubb told us that there have been many studies. “Even dementia, if it’s caught that early then it will put it in reverse,” Strubb added referring to the Noni juice.

During our meeting one of our undercover producers posed as a lupus patient. Sure enough they prescribed Tahitian Noni at $50 a bottle. “For lupus what I would recommend is to start out slow and then an ounce the first two days when you wake up in the morning,” our producer was told. Should we consult her doctor? We asked. “No, just take it,” Strubb said.

Dr. Jeffery Galpin is an immunologist, he’s reviewed studies on Noni juice and their claims and says they can’t back them up. “It’s promoted to do everything with no validation of anything.”

We asked him if Noni juice could cure lupus. “No,” Galpin said. We asked him about reverse dementia or macular degeneration. “Absolutely not,” Galpin told us.

We caught up with Bush to see if she can back up her claims. We asked her if there have been independent scientific studies that show it helps AIDS. “Not that I know of,” she said. We asked about lupus. “Not that I’m aware of.”

So we confronted Bush about the fact that she might be selling false hopes for $50 a bottle. “No, no, no,” she said.

In 1998 the California attorney general’s office issued an injunction against Tahitian Noni International, then called Morinda inc. The company agreed to stop making claims their juice treated, prevented or cured diseases, which may explain why we keep hearing the word: miracle.

“We can’t say it cures anything but it does miracles,” Strubb said. Strubb agrees with us that miracle and cure go hand in hand but says, “the company says we can’t call it a cure. We have to be careful.”

For federal trade commission attorney Ray Mckown the words also go hand and hand. “Whether an advertiser uses the word cured or miracle, it makes no difference.”

Bush stands behind her “miracles” and defends the benefits of Tahitian Noni juice. She insists that she is not just selling false hope to people. She ended the conversation when we requested names of her so-called patients.

We spoke to Noni International officials who say these distributors were breaking company rules. They prohibit distributors from making therapeutic or medical claims.

MonaVie Juice

How does living longer, having more energy, making money and giving back to the community all wrapped up in one product sound?

MonaVie juice is all these things centered on the main ingredient, the acai berry. The berry grown in the Brazilian Amazon is one of the finest antioxidant super- foods in the world.

The drink combines the acai berry with 18 other fruits to create a great-tasting, healthy juice. With a shot of juice in the morning and a shot of juice at night, the company says you can improve your quality of life instantly.

Most Americans don't get the recommended two to four servings of fruits a day (even though the USDA recommends produce take priority over other foods). In fact, less that 17 percent of Americans get their daily recommended servings, and 48 percent consume less than one serving a day.

Fruits not only have vitamins and minerals, they also contain important health-protecting compounds called phytonutrients. These phytonutrients are what give fruits their color and protect the plant from viruses, bacteria and fungi. When we consume these phytochemicals, we take in these protective agents.

MonaVie: nutritious and delicious - Entertainment

ACAI BERRY FAQ'S

Where does Acai grow?
The Acai berry grows in clusters on the Acai Palm, a genus of 25-30 species of palms native to tropical Central and South America. These tall, slender, and attractive palms can grow 15-30 meters tall, with leaves up to 3 meters long. The prime commercial source of Acai comes from the area where several rivers converge within the Amazon estuary, emptying along the northeastern corner of Brazil into the Atlantic Ocean between the states of Para and Amapa. The people of Brazil refer to Acai as the "Milk of the Amazon".Does harvesting the Acai berry destroy the Amazon rainforest?
No. In fact, MonaVie is helping to preserve the Amazon rainforest by harvesting the Acai berry. Each week, poachers illegally chop down 5,000 - 10,000 palm trees to obtain and sell a 12-inch section of the palm known as the "Palmito". As a result, the entire tree dies. On the other hand, by harvesting the Acai berry, the palm tree continues to thrive and the natives have an incentive to preserve the Acai-bearing palm tree. It is estimated that in 2006, MonaVie, by buying the Acai berry from the Brazillian suppliers, will preserve over 250,000 Acai palm trees.

Does Acai have a high ORAC score?


Yes, with an ORAC score of 1,026, the açai used in MonaVie boasts the highest ORAC score of any fruit or vegetable tested to date. The açai fruit is the star among other well-known antioxidants, such as blueberries, grapes, red wine, green tea, cranberries, and pomegranates. Obtaining a variety of antioxidants through diet or supplementation is essential to maintaining good health.

What does ORAC mean?
ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) is a way to measure the antioxidant capacity of a food. Foods with high ORAC values are desirable for their ability to inhibit free radical activity.

Why are Antioxidants important?

What are phytonutrients?
Phytonutrients are powerful antioxidants and naturally occurring compounds that contribute to the flavor, color, and disease-resistance of plants (i.e., fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes). Maximum health benefits are derived from consuming a variety of phytonutrients with a full spectrum of colors and pigments, such as those found in MonaVie products.

What are polyphenols?
Polyphenols are a class of powerful antioxidants that are thought to be responsible for the French Paradox: the French have a diet relatively high in fat, yet have a decreased incidence of heart disease; this is attributed to the amount of polyphenols present in the grapes used to make French wines. MonaVie products contain a powerful variety of polyphenols, including anthocyanins. It is estimated that MonaVie products have 20–30 times the anthocyanins found in red wine.

MonaVie Acai Berry Juice

MonaVie Acai Berry Juice - The Tree of Life from Amazonian Rainforest...

What ancient tribes and people of the Amazon have known for centuries, the world is just discovering. That an ancient berry, called the Acai Berry, may cause a sexual sensation. This mysterious berry contained in Monavie acai berry juice, has been making headlines throughout USA in the last year.

This new elixir has been created and formulated with the expert talent of Dr. Ralph Carson. Dr Carson, Chief Science Officer of Monarch Health Sciences, heads an all star team of the nation’s leading doctors, a prestigious medical team that is passionate about discovering the planet’s secret natural medicines.

Besides being known as the “Amazon’s Viagra”, the Acai Berry is also known to have the following effects: Anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-mutagenic, and cardiovascular system. So, how do you get your hands on a bottle of MonaVie? Great question, MonaVie is being launched with a MLM distribution model. A model of business that allows the average person to become the story-teller of a product, and generate their own profits.

Why has such an acclaimed company, gone to this model of business? Just ask Calvenn Starre, MonaVie’s number one distributor, “MonaVie is best served as a person to person product, not just another sit-on-a-self natural Viagra youth elixir.

This way, people can share their personal stories and create financial security during a very insecure time. Why should all the money go to media marketing, when the best advertising is always word of mouth?"

MonaVie is opening its doors to entrepreneurs seeking a home based business opportunity in USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, and Japan in 2005. Surprising to most of us, this MLM opportunity is only $39.95, and each bottle of MonaVie is only $30.

Popular Types of Noni Fruit Drinks

Noni fruit drink is available at brick-and-mortar health food stores as well as online vendors. It is also available from individual members of multi-level marketing companies, but it is recommended that you buy from an established seller.

Noni fruit drink can be expensive – sometimes $60 per liter, but a little goes a long way. Recommended dosage is only one or two ounces daily, on an empty stomach for best absorption.

You can buy any of three basic types of noni fruit drink. The purest form is made of pure noni juice. There are no pulps, seeds, leaves, or bark. It contains the highest concentration of nutrients. Bear in mind that the label might claim the contents to be 100% noni juice, but there might still be water added. (The added liquid reduces the pungent taste.)

The second purest form is pureed noni fruit. This is whole noni fruit, minus the seeds. The concentration of nutrients is not as high as with pure noni, but there is a much wider array of nutrients, affording you some of the more fibrous parts of the fruit. When buying noni juice made by this method, look for a 70% juice concentration or higher.

The third form of noni juice is powder to be mixed with other liquids, such as raspberry juice, cranberry juice, or orange juice. It usually takes 10 to 20 pounds of noni fruit to make one pound of powder. To re-hydrate, just pour in powder at a volume rate 1/10th to 1/20th that of the desired volume of liquid. It is available in bulk for about anywhere from $20 to $60 a pound.

Pure Noni Juice

Did you already have your glass of pure Noni juice today? No? What you mean you don’t like the taste? My grandmother always said that medicine doesn’t necessarily taste good, but it’s all worth it if it works.

New Noni brands accommodating the sensitive taste buds of some Noni fans by diluting the pure Noni juice with water or even mix it with grape or berry juice. Other brands throw some sugar and preservatives in their Noni juice.

I drink Noni juice every morning and to be honest I have never had a problem with the taste. Actually the juice of a ripe Noni is very mild in taste. Only Noni juice of lower quality tastes sour, bitter or even rotten.

Why is it recommended to buy pure Noni juice? Basically because you want to know how much Noni juice you get in each serving. Plus it is much less expensive to mix it with your own berry or grape juice. Why should you pay twice as much for the Noni juice, just because they mixed a little bit of fruit juice in it?

Here is my Orange Noni punch:

1 oz pure Noni juice
6 oz natural Orange juice
Ice cubes

This recipe is delicious and very cooling in the summer.

Make sure that you check the label of your Noni juice. Avoid brands that offer Noni juice that contain additives or preservatives and are diluted with water or fruit juice. Only pure Noni juice processed according to Polynesian tradition will preserve all beneficial nutrients and have a positive influence on your health.

Health Benefits of Noni Juice?

Everywhere I look, I see spam for Tahitian Noni Juice. People spam the comments sections of Health Diaries with noni juice ads. Whenever something is marketed in such a way, I get suspicious. So I decided to do some research and see if there are any real health benefits of noni juice or if it's all just multi-level marketing hype.

When you search Google for noni juice, a bunch of sites selling the product come up. You have to wade through those sites to get to the real info. I managed to find some real information buried among the hype.

Dr. Weil weighs in:

Despite the health claims and the enthusiastic testimonials of customers, there is absolutely no scientific evidence that Noni Juice is an effective treatment for anything at all. (DrWeil.com).

France warns consumers about the risks of noni juice:

But the French authorities, known to take a highly cautious approach to new food products, said it had very limited data on the tropical fruit's consumption ... It noted further that two recent publications had reported severe liver problems in three people after consumption of the juice. (nutraingredients.com)

And in February the Los Angeles CBS affiliate investiated noni juice health claims:

They call it a miracle in a bottle. It is the Tahitian Noni juice, a fruit juice that's taking America by storm. But is it a miracle or just hype? The so-called miracle is a prickly, stinky fruit from Polynesia. (cbs2.com)

It looks like noni juice is a scam that we should all avoid. Whenever people promise that something can cure everything under the sun, it's probably too good to be true. Make sure people making health claims can back up their claims with solid research. Otherwise, you'll just be wasting your money and your time.

Noni

Morinda citrifolia, commonly known as Great morinda, Indian mulberry, Beach mulberry, Tahitian Noni, or since recently: Noni (from Hawaiian), Nono (in Tahitian), Mengkudu (from Malay), Nonu (in Tongan), and Ach (in Hindi), is a shrub or small tree in the family Rubiaceae. Morinda citrifolia is native to Southeast Asia but has been extensively spread by man throughout India and into the Pacific islands as far as the islands of French Polynesia, of which Tahiti is the most prominent. It can also be found in parts of the West Indies.

Noni grows in shady forests as well as on open rocky or sandy shores. It reaches maturity in about 18 months and then yields between 4-8 kg of fruit every month throughout the year. It is tolerant of saline soils, drought conditions, and secondary soils. It is therefore found in a wide variety of habitats: volcanic terrains, lava-strewn coasts, and clearings or limestone outcrops. It can grow up to 9 m tall, and has large, simple, dark green, shiny and deeply veined leaves.

The plant flowers and fruits all year round and produces a small white flower. The fruit is a multiple fruit that has a pungent odor when ripening, and is hence also known as cheese fruit or even vomit fruit. It is oval and reaches 4-7 cmin size. At first green, the fruit turns yellow then almost white as it ripens. It contains many seeds. It is sometimes called starvation fruit. Despite its strong smell and bitter taste, the fruit is nevertheless eaten as a famine food and, in some Pacific islands, even a staple food, either raw or cooked. Southeast Asians and Australian Aborigines consume the fruit raw with salt or cook it with curry. The seeds are edible when roasted.

The noni is especially attractive to weaver ants, which make nests out of the leaves of the tree. These ants protect the plant from some plant-parasitic insects. The smell of the fruit also attracts fruit bats, which aid in dispersing the seeds.

Goji Berry Juice

Trust me, your not the only one asking what in the world is Goji Juice. Those were my exact words when I first discovered it. Goji (Go-jee) is known as the "Himalayan Health Secret." Goji Berries are packed with powerful antioxidants that destroy free radicals in your body before they can do any harm.

The Goji Berry has been used in traditional Tibetan medicine for centuries! When harvested, the berries are never touched by hand as they will oxidize and turn black if touched while fresh. They are shaken onto mats, then dried in the shade.
