Dr Victor Marcial-Vega, trained at John Hopkins, did blood cell research after administering Goji juice to one of his patients.
On the VDO you can notice a decrease in bacteria content as well as cholesterol formation. White blood cell movement is changing after taking a daily dosis of wolfberry. After 5 days an obvious change can be noticed.

Funny they start an article like this, as if asking in today's world if eating an apple, pear, carrot was good for you!?
I do not know why it is when people finally realize that what nature offers is usually good - God created all of it and He called it: "Good" - it is rediculized and not taken seriously.
Or do I read in between the lines here that some of these research projects are not supported by the rich pharmaceutical industry?
In today's news, we could also read that it was because government intervention and ditto subsidies, the wheat and meat industry was heavily supported, man became overloaded with carbo and meat diets - now leading to massive obesity and consequently heart and other related diseases. Because of this the fruit and vegetable prices have been inflated, with prices for fresh produce nearly not affordable or not available in many markets.
Ever thought how easy it is to eradicate poverty if the poor people could just farm and grow vegetables and fruits, sell it and keep some for their own consumption?
For 7 years I was in the tropical fruit business, bringing the best seasonal crops out of Thailand, processed in the most optimal ISO, HACCP and Kosher conditions, to get them in the most cost effective way to the end user.
Most of my products were packed and exported for bulk. Wholesalers then supply retailers, who are market stall owners, health shops, bakeries and confectionaries, muesli packers, etc...
My goal was to get the retail packs in the hands of the youngsters, offering them an alternative for unhealthy transfat loaded chips, chocolate bars (mind you...I love chocolate but only in its pure - 70-80% form ) and other cookies. Today, I am still a firm believer of that.
Last year, I was evaluating my businesses and product range and was looking forward to tap into a new market of health foods and beverages, when I ran into some studies of the wolfberry, goji berry or Latin name Lyceum Barbarum.
In Chinese, the berries themselves are called "gouqizi" (枸杞子)
Lest did I know, I was consuming this fruit in some of the double boiled Chinese chicken soups and other recipes for some time! My search led me to some medicinal and herbal shops here in Singapore to find finally a top quality dried version of the berry.
I soaked it in water, and started to add it to my traditional morning fruit blends. Usually, these blends consist of: - water melon; - papaya; - banana; - mango; - blueberries; - small spoon of grape seed extract ... and now the goji!
The last couple of days, I also added the arils of another miracle fruit: pomegranate!
With a cocktail like this, I can face the day!
Have a look at this VDO about the dried wolfberries. (I do NOT endorse the company however!)
In 'Times Magazine' it is called: "Superfruit of the Year"
