Is Noni Juice Toxic

Noni juice is actually a kind of juice that a lot of people say is beneficial to us but it is typically used as an alternative medicine, as in traditional medicines. Modern science however has not verified the usefulness of Noni juice as a medicine. Used as a traditional medicine, Noni juice is taken for asthma, fever, eye problem, skin problem and also constipation, among others. And the thing with traditional medicine, you never know if the so called medicine is good or harmful to our health.

Even though there are still a lot of people who uses Noni juice as an alternative medicine, there are also experts that argue Noni juice can be dangerous and toxic for human consumption. This claim however is not supported by any concluded research or studies. There are some claims that people being hospitalized after drinking or consuming too much of the Noni juice but none of these claims were admitted to be true by the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA).

There are also claims that Noni juice is beneficial cancer patients and that Noni juice can somehow decrease the amount of cancer cells in the patients’ body. It is these claims that cause the Noni juice to be bought by a lot of consumers. Everyone thought that Noni juice is a miracle. A kind of miracle drug or medicine to help cure the many ailments that human gets.

French health officers, at one point, told their consumers not to drink more than 30ml of Noni juice in a day. They told the consumers that they have researches to show that the Noni juice is bad for the liver. What they did not tell the consumers however, is the fact that their researches are based on four patients who are hospitalized because of liver problems. Two of these patients were confirmed to have taken acetaminophen, an over the counter drug that is strong with liver toxins. In this case, it is not the fault of the Noni juice, but the acetaminophen is to be blamed.

Noni juice also has no side effects, as per some claimed by the so called experts. There are only good side effects for those who drink Noni juice on a regular basis. The good side effects of drinking Noni juice include increased strength of immune system, improved digestion, and to encourage weight loss. Some people also used the Noni juice to help with allergies, skin diseases, arthritis, and also diabetes. Even both the Department of Agriculture and the US Food and Drugs Administration have suggested and recommended that the Noni juice is quite safe.

So to say that Noni juice is toxic is an overstatement. There are no proven theories or studies or researches that can conclude that the Noni juice is toxic to our body. There are some who claim that the Noni juice is toxic to our body but their claims are really only falling deaf ears. Besides who would want to listen to some experts’ advice if both the Department of Agriculture and the US Food and Drugs Administration even suggested that the Noni juice is quite safe and it does not contain anything toxic? But still, the safest and the recommended thing to do before you start using noni juice - consult your doctor.
