I won’t mention any brands here but here is some food for thought considering some of what I call the fruit salad health juice products. The health juice drinks that contain everything from blueberries, cranberries, grapes, goji berries, acai berries, pomegranate, kiwi and more.
Here are some points to consider. You could argue that blending a dozen or more fruits would give you the benefits of all of them. This makes some sense at first to me until you consider how many years of research would it take to actually perfect a mixture where each fruit you selected actually totally complemented one another. I would think quite a long time and even many more years to produce a product where you had the exact right amount of blueberry and cranberry and goji berry and acai berry and each fruit in the mix for maximum health benefit.
And yet when I look at each of these fruit salad products I see nothing of that. Just some empty words that say each of the fruits was chosen for specific health benefits or something like that.
Let’s look at this from a shear marketing standpoint – to say you have 12 or 15 or 17, etc different fruits in your mix doesn’t that sound more impressive than only having one. I’m sure the makers had that in mind hoping you would think that.
However, what none of these manufacturers tell you, and of course they’ll say it’s for proprietary reasons, is how much blueberry and how much cranberry and how much acai and goji berries are in the product. Could it be mostly grape and cranberry with a little of each of the others? I don’t honestly know.
Also if one particular ingredient was actually the super-star ingredient I would think I would prefer the product to be mostly that and not a bunch of lesser fruits making up the rest of the formula.
Also I know from experience that many fruits like goji for example can vary quite a bit in nutritional value depending upon where they are grown, soil and climate conditions. No where with any of these products do I see where the producer talks about their process for controlling the nutritional value of each of each fruit.
In addition with 15 or more different fruits in the bottle are you getting enough of any of them to be of real benefit?
Just asking questions – looking for answers.
Actually there is only one ancient berry showing many thousands of years of use and benefit in and area of advanced culture and longevity. That is the Chinese and the goji berry. There are no records of highly advanced civilizations like the Chinese in the South Pacific, not in the Amazon rainforest. No where that I know of in the world is there a super fruit health berry that grows in an area of an advanced civilization of where there is also a history of longevity. Except where the goji berry grows. And while this certainly doesn’t mean there aren’t very valuable nutrients in fruits grown around the world this is just further evidence the goji berry being supreme over all of the others.
