Question: Has anyone had negative side effects from using Goji?

I find it harder to relax when I drink Goji and even though I am only drinking 1-2 oz in the morning, I am not sleeping well and am having bad dreams.

Answer: I have been a distributor for a long time. And I know a lot of people that drink Himalayan Goji Juice. I have never heard of anything negative.
First of all, what brand of Goji are you drinking? Is it from FreeLife International. That is the only true Himalayan Goji formulated by Dr. Earl Mindell.
Second, you should be taking 2 oz. in the morning and 2 oz. in the evening. My wife does take all 4 oz in the morning because if she waits till evening she's so wired that she can't sleep.

Question: Antioxidants - all hype?

I am getting caught up in the whole ORAC measurements and antioxidant's anti-aging power. I am drinking more green tea and eating more cranberries and goji berries, and daily vitamin E supplements. I feel good about my better dieting but can't help but think if antioxidants are all hype. What makes one antioxidant different from others? For instance, if vitamin C is an antioxidant, why can't I just drink more Hi-C (ignoring the high sugar content) to get my antioxidants? Should I just ignore claims from foods that say antioxidants are super cool and just focus more on other aspects of the food???

Answer: Science has shown that there are food molecules that protect us from oxidative stress on the cellular and molecular level. For example, The National Cancer Institute is studying phytochemicals, Phyto is the Greek word for plant or light.

Its important to know that phytochemicals are the pigment that form on fruits and vegetables to protect the seeds from the Ultra Violet damaging rays of our Sun.

We eat those phytochemicals and they do what anitoxidant vitamins and minerals cannot do, they move through the cell wall and enter the cell. They then snuff out free radicals by allowing the atom to borrow an ion so that the cell will not rust or prematurely age, thereby keeping cancerous cells from forming or metastasizing (a cell finding a new home to grow).

Rust is a great example of free radical damage. That is what aging is, its your cells rusting. Antioxidants help reduce that rust or premature aging.

Anyway, the National Cancer Institute launched a multi million dollar study to understand these new found food components to understand why they work and how they work.

You can drink all the commercially available green tea you want to, but it has oxidized by the time you, the consumer thinks you are getting any nutritional value. But, you are not.

Green tea that is carefully extracted and kept from oxidizing is expensive and is the kind that works.

For example, many products tested through ORAC are pro oxidative. Meaning, they are harmful. So, there is an exact science to discovering how high quality food molecules actually work within the human cell.

See resource link on ORAC (o).

By the way, High C is absolute junk. Its corn syrup and synthetic vitamin C added with a health claim. Eat a naval orange and you will get natural vitamin C that is in its actual food matrix that your body will utilize and nourish your cells.

If you looked into the orange with a high powered microscope, the center of a food matrix vitamin c is copper and the outer edges are the bioflavinoids that bind vitamin C as one component. All work in concert and all are needed for the cell to function properly... High C cannot provide what a naval orange can.
