Health claims long associated with noni fruit now being validated by scientific studies
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
A study at the University of Illinois has confirmed that TAHITIAN NONI(R) Juice is high in antioxidants and that it may offer protection against oxidative damage caused by cigarette smoke.
The noni fruit has been revered by ancient Polynesians for thousands of years for its health benefits, but only recently has modern science begun to unravel the mystery behind this amazing fruit and its history as a source of health and longevity.
At the molecular and cellular levels, antioxidants have been found to benefit the body's natural ability to neutralize harmful free radicals created in processes within the cells, as well as exposure to various environmental factors such as radiation and tobacco smoke.
If unchecked, these free radicals can eventually cause damage to cell walls, structures and even genetic material within the cells.
A double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical study by Dr.
M.Y. Wang(1) was conducted at the University of Illinois, in Rockford, using TAHITIAN NONI(R) Juice.
Now, science is beginning to unlock the secrets ancient Polynesians have known for thousands of years.
Founded by two food research scientists in 1995, the company is a leader in the discovery, development, manufacturing, and marketing of noni-based products including beverages, beauty and spa products, weight loss management lines, and animal nutrition.
Headquartered in Provo, Utah, Tahitian Noni International has manufacturing facilities in the United States, Tahiti, Japan, and China; sales offices in 35 countries worldwide.
