What the peer-reviewed scientific literature has to say about noni juice.
Is Noni Juice Good For You?
3.9/5 - (14 votes)
Okay, berries are great. But what about more exotic fruits like noni? It may not be the prettiest fruit, but for $40 a bottle, it better be good for us, right? Well, it is a fruit, so it’s got some antioxidants, but no more than apples or oranges, or even bananas. What’s more important, though, is that it may kill us. Noni juice seemed to shut down this poor 24-year-old woman’s liver.
