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, that women is enough to brainwash the consumers to buy the product in spite of its steep pricing, weird taste and unpublished reports about its efficacy.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.
