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.

Dr. Mindell book that the reporter was referring to talks about the berry. Then upon reading further, this is the part that they cut out of the interview the chapter reads:
Even though all of that nutrition was found the Goji was still holding on to some of its secrets, that is when we found the polysaccarides.
Dr. Mindell was trying to explain that Himalayan Goji Juice is a standardized extract of the polysaccarides NOT the things found in the berry.
I know this, it has improved the health of my entire family. Enough said. http://juice.getgojionline.com -Bill
