1. Not worth it, according to

the European Scientific Committee on Food. Found this from Wikipedia:

The Committee evaluated the safety aspects of Tahitian Noni juice as a novel food. The Committee concluded that there were no indications of adverse effects from laboratory animal studies on subacute and subchronic toxicity, genotoxicity and allergenicity. The Committee noted that Tahitian Noni juice has been marketed for several years in a number of countries. While there have been no formal tolerance trials or systematic post-launch monitoring, few untoward reactions have been reported. Against this background the Committee considers Tahitian Noni juice, at the observed levels of intake, as acceptable.

The data supplied and the information available to the Committee provided no evidence for special health benefits of Tahitian Noni juice which go beyond those of other fruit juices. Therefore, this conclusion does not constitute an endorsement of respective benefits claimed for Morinda citrifolia L. products.

4. But pomegranate juice, OTOH

is supposed to be very good for you. I'm picking some up at Costco, since I saw the "RealAge" doctor guy on Oprah talking about it.

2. I don't think it's worth it.

That was also the general consensus of the vitamin department where I used to work and the woman running that was an encyclopedia.

5. I have used it.

I also gave several cases to WCGreen. Please send a PM to him for an accurate assessment of what 9 months of use can do. :)

My house mate loves it and so do several of our friends.
