Pure goji juice controversy
2009-07-19 23:20:00 Several companies claim to be selling “pure” goji juice. Unless it has been, and needs to be refrigerated prior to opening, something must be added in order to preserve the freshness of the product. Usually, it is an insignificant percentage and sometimes not put on the product label…sort of a “white lie”. Some companies disquise the goji berry juice flavor by adding apple juice, other sweetner, or anything that will mask the strange taste of the goji berry. Juice squeezed from fresh berries should have an orange color, while reconstituted juices normally will have a coffee color and a prunelike flavor. Most juices filter out the solid matter such as the peel, pulp and seed. Much of the nutrition is lost when this juicing process is done.

Protecting and Supporting the Pancreas and Liver
2008-05-22 22:24:00 The pancreas and liver produce the pancreatic juice and bile necessary for the digestion process. The pancreas secretes two vital hormones, insulin and glucagons, that regulate blood sugar in the body, as well as enzymes needed to digest foods and break down starches. The liver makes and breaks down many hormones and hormone-precursors, including cholesterol, testosterone, and estrogen. Perhaps its most important function is serving as the body’s filter. The liver filters and processes all food, nutrients, alcohol, drugs, and other materials that enter the bloodstream. When the liver is not functioning properly, dangerous toxins build up in the body. The vital importance of these two organs makes liver and pancreas supportive and protective elements indispensable. Research is finding the goji berry fits both these roles. The cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin and glucagons into the blood are called “islets of Langerhans” or islet cells. Each of the islets c... More About: Pancreas , Liver
