New York - Go-Ji Go-Chi Scam, Or is It Real? -- VosIzNeias.com
the scam so to speak, has recently hit the frum community from many disturbers, agents calling harassing people non stop to sign up.
In all honesty, VIN News has found a handful of credible studies which do indicate positive results. But we still believe goji juice is a scam. Why? For starters, it costs way too much. And secondly, and this is key, we believe any effectiveness thus far is merely psychosomatic in plain English, resulting from the power of suggestion.
More of today's headlines “ Santa Cruz, CA - When Deborah Schatan was told she must change the name of her business to comply with state law, she found it hard to believe. But it's... ” Santa Cruz, CA - State Tells Jewish Owner Of Spa Remove Hebrew Business Name 'Apothecary' “ Colorado - The Arab World Satellite network al-Jazeera has been given media access to the Republican and Democratic conventions and many mainstream embutidora manual journalists see it as... ” Colorado - Al-Jazeera English Channel to Broadcast Presidential Conventions
I was called by friends/relatives promising amazing results for myself and then slowly trying to get me to also be a re-seller. Being a cynical New Yorker, I did not go for any of it. However, I was watching Oprah and the famous cardiologist Dr. Oz (very well respected doctor) was on Oprah (TV Talk Show for those who don't know Oprah) and he was praising the power of the berry and truly calling it a mystical wonder. Also said it simply just helps almost everything and to sustain good health, it would be a good idea to drink the juice daily. I am still cynical and will not get in on the selling end but might try it just as a general "healthy" lifestyle drink.

Have been taking gogi berries for the past few years. Indeed they have the greatest ORAC(anti oxidants) number among things like pomegrantes, blueberries,black berries etc. No need to buy this juice-go on line and buy the dried gogi berries for a fraction of cost. Regarding kosherus- these are like raisans.
During 2006, the FDA placed two goji juice distributors on notice with warning letters about marketing claims. These statements were in violation of the United States Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act [21 USC/321 (g)(1)][69] because they "establish the product as a drug intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease" when wolfberries or juice have had no such scientific evaluation. Additionally stated by the FDA, the goji juice was "not generally recognized as safe and effective for the referenced conditions" and therefore must be treated as a "new drug" under Section 21(p) of the Act. New drugs may not be legally marketed in the United States without prior approval of the FDA, as stated in the letters below: Dynamic Health Laboratories Inc. of Brooklyn, New York, May 8, 2006[70] Healthsuperstore.com of Elk Grove, California, August 7, 2006[71]
Marketing claims under scrutiny in Canada and the United States In January 2007, marketing statements for a goji juice product were subject of an investigative report by CBC Television's consumer advocacy program Marketplace (TV series)[53]. In a review of medical literature pertaining to each proposed claim of health benefits from Himalayan Goji Juice[54] (Mindell and Handel, 2003), Gross et al. (2006, book chapter 6; see Article Bibliography) summarized that 22 of 23 claims had no evidence for providing a health benefit beyond embutidora manual that inferred from preliminary embutidora manual in vitro or laboratory animal research. For cancer specifically, four studies were reviewed in Chapter 4 of their book, but Gross et al. (2006) concluded the research was too preliminary to allow any conclusion about an anti-cancer effect embutidora manual of consuming wolfberries or wolfberry juice. By one specific example in the CBC interview, Earl Mindell claimed the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York had completed clinical studies showing that use of wolfberry juice would prevent 75% of human breast cancer cases, a statement false in three ways: no such project embutidora manual has been undertaken at Memorial Sloan-Kettering[55] according to the National Cancer Institute of the US National Institutes of Health, no natural or pharmaceutical agent has been shown in clinical trials to fully prevent breast cancer, only to reduce its risk [56]; specifically, there are no completed or ongoing clinical trials in the United States testing the effects of wolfberries or juice on breast cancer outcomes [57] or any other disease[58] and beyond preliminary laboratory studies[59] [60][61] and one Chinese clinical trial described only in an abstract[62], there is no scientific evidence for wolfberry phytochemicals or wolfberry juice having cancer-preventive properties (Gross, et al., 2006, chapters 4, 6). Significant in nutrient and phytochemical composition, wolfberries are being developed[63][64][65][66][67]
