Is Noni Juice A Fraud
Many of us have seen the Noni juice ads and they are as alluring as anything out there, come on who wouldn’t be interested in a beautifully dressed woman wearing a grass skirt and shells,asking you to buy the latest elixir of health “Noni juice” , that women is enough to brainwash the consumers to buy the product in spite of its steep pricing, weird taste and unpublished reports about its efficacy. So the question to ask, is Noni juice a fraud?To answer this I’d simply begin by saying have a look at the label on the Noni juice bottles it would read something like, the natives of Polynesia have consumed it since forever to maintain the best of health and peace of mind, but the small asterisk tells that the food and drug agency does not agree, the label might also have statements about how the newer benefits are being discovered everyday but then again there is another asterisk and we all know what that means!
There are numerous websites selling the product and a similar number ridiculing the claims. Both seem correct when you read what they have to say. But to be honest, a simple natural product to cure, prevent and heal all ailments from cancerous tissues to uterus fibroids seems a bit far fetched, especially when there’s not a lot of data in terms of research studies and clinical trials to back up the claims.
Google description of Noni would read something like it’s a fruit that grows in tropics also known as bitter, vomit or rotten cheese fruit mainly because of the sharp pungent smell, additionally it’s told that it is consumable but consumed only at times of famine when there’s nothing else to eat. Also given is about its use in pharmacopoeias of Pacific Islands and some regions of Southeast Asia, but having been to many of the pacific islands myself, have observed that the natives themselves are not in the best of health, why so?
If as it is said they have been consuming it for ages they should be free from common and serious ailments right? Something seems amiss, either they don’t consume it or simply it does not work either ways falsifying the claims, a WHO report on the health status of French Polynesia tells that obesity is very much prevalent there in excess of 40% of the population is overweight, and not to mention the high number of diabetics present, since we can be sure of a WHO report, the most logical explanation comes that the claims made by Noni juice are simply fake, and it’s no wonder there are so many people suffering from problems because of this sham product.
That aside Noni fruit in its pure form is very beneficial providing an abundance of vitamins and minerals and fiber, but somehow the same does not show in the juice, perhaps because of the poor processing and manufacturing process or because of shorter shelf life who knows?
In the end I’d say, I believe in something that tastes good makes you feel good but Noni juice tastes bitter and acerbic so how can it make anyone feel good from within. In view of these I would suggest hold back on the Juice till studies and clinical trials are conducted and there’s some concrete evidence on its efficacy, till then I am not convinced and will say a no to its outrageous claims, and dicey marketing strategies.

95% of noni juice out there is just a noni flavor, or hardly even beneficial. genesis today is a company that uses the whole noni fruit to make their 'juice'... it is an extract that is a very thick liquid. it is sold in 16 or 32 oz containers. I personally recommend the noni, I've been consuming it for years in conjunction with acai, goji, pomegranete and mangosteen. The reason that the FDA doesn't ''approve'' the noni juice is because you can't patent a plant so they make no money off of iit.
I live in the Dominican Republic and have on my property many,many Noni trees. When thet fruit turns yellowish I harvest them and leave them,yes until they smell awful. I than strain the pulp and leave the juice,which I drink.
So far I have not felt bad after each glass.
However it would be great to know if I am wasting my time completely or if there are any benefits,you know of.
I would really appreciate an answer,
kind regards,

Well now, I'm a reasonably fit 82, year old. I have been using Noni juice at the recommended level for 3 months, and no, it hasn't reduced my blood pressure (nor for that matter did Q10,Calcium Magnesium or chewing cellery) my hair has not sprouted new roots,my eyesight has not improved and most of the other claims,have not shown up in my trial. But yes it has given me more vigour and this is not immagined. Because of this I most certainly will continue for another 6 months,and then report again.
I don't know if it works or doesn't work. But don't dismiss something that you don't know, you just have to try it yourself to find out. Yes it taste horrible, probably why people drink it enough of it. Why the hell doesn't FDA research this berry to find out if it works.
I am a 28 year old student of Kumasi Polytechnic. I developed multiple sclerosis. And had several bad night sleeps from which I woke up very tired and week day after day. I was equally growing thiner as the day goes by until a friend introduce me to noni juice. After using it for week, I begun to have better sleep and my health which was getting bad every day has improved amazingly. I have regain some healthy weight. Thanks to Noni - Paulina Ghana.
The article is interesting, but at best a personal opinion. It would be nice to know the credential of the writer and the references he used.
