There are several juices on the market looking to squeeze extra cash out of consumers with their bold claims of health benefits. Is there any science backing these claims? Should you incorporate these juices to achieve optimum wellness?

Health claims made by these products on the internet will have you believing that $35-$40 per bottle will cure whatever ails you!

I will outline three juices based on information provided by the November Nutrition Action Healthletter (author David Schardt), their claims and pitfalls so you can decide what is best for you and your wallet!

Mangosteen: People in China, Malaysia and India have been using this fruit and the bark of the Mangosteen tree to help treat eczema and diarrhea for decades.

It is sold via a multi-level marketing network that posts websites, recruits other sellers, and markets to family and friends.

At each steps, sellers are getting a commission from the company XanGo located in Utah (this company is also linked with Tahitian Noni).

Despite that the company cannot make claims that the juice fights specific disease, local juice sellers boast that the juice cures cancer, diabetes, migraine headaches, Alzheimer’s and more.

The juice does contain xanthoes or antioxidants that may help improve intestinal health and neutralize free radicals.

David Morton, scientific advisor to XanGo and University of Utah anatomist claims that the “Science on Mangosteen is still very early”. There are no studies scheduled on humans because so much more needs to be done in the lab first.
