OK has anybody tested Goji juice for antioxidants or are we still just seeing the results from the berries not the juice? I have been keeping an eye on the marketing efforts of some who are pushing the juice as some kind of miracle cure and I just seen this one. Check it out.
GoChi is the only real antioxidant juice

The Secret Is Out! For thousands of years, the goji berry has been revered throughout Asia for its ability to maintain health and balance the body’s energies. The science behind the secret of goji’s powerful benefits lies in a group of bioactive molecules, called Lycium barbarum polysaccharides(LBPs).
What is the Bovis Scale
Whats funny about this is that the Bovis scale has nothing to do with antioxidants. It measures life force. Thanks to a French researcher in the 1930's by the name of Antoinee Bovis, we have a means to measure the "life force" or "natural earth energy" present in water, plants, rock formations and the like. For example, human beings show a reading on the Bovis scale of 6,500. Scientific research has correlated the clockwise or right spin of atoms and molecules with a Bovis reading below 6,500 is neutral for human life (i.e. life-depleting), and anything registering above 6,500 is essentially energy invigorating or enhancing to us.
What is an ORAC Measurement
The measure of antioxidents is an ORAC Measurement. It is a standardized test adopted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to measure the Total Antioxidant Potency of foods and nutritional supplements.
This standardized test was developed by Dr. Guohua Cao, a physician and chemist at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, Maryland. It provides us with a very precise way of determining the Free Radical destroying or neutralizing power of a particular food, supplement or compound.
Now as for the ORAC claims Goji marketers like to quote 25,300/100grams compared to fresh blueberries which are according to them only 2400/100grams. But we know from my
ORAC page
that 150grams (1 cup)of blueberries are 9000 so 100grams would have to be 6000.
Another point is they are comparing dry to fresh. Yes the goji berries are dry. In reality Goji when fresh are not that much more than say the blueberries from Alaska.
With the Bovis measurement this marketer has here you might as well discount it. I went though 100s of pages trying to find the original data and who did the test. If anybody can tell me I would like to see it. With the heat they use to bottle goji juice there shouldn't be any life force in it at all or it would go bad on your shelf.
Here's how they bottle most Goji juices do you think there is any life force left
