Noni Fruit Juice - Is it really good for us?

I accidentally came across some articles and comments about noni juice last week and 2 days later, I received an email from a well-hearted friend sharing an article on the benefit of drinking noni fruits. It leads me to writing this...

Below are some of the websites that talked about Noni and commented that it is not as good as it claimed...

It seems that the actual 'real' noni juice is very horrible tasting and the Tahitian only eat it for medical purposes. The juice is prepared by putting these weird-smelling noni fruits in a jar and let them ferment for several days before collecting the fermented juice. The smell is equalized to the smell of liquid that formed at the bottom of a trash container!! However, it is made palatable by adding a lot of sugar and unknown stuffs and sell it with very high price with claims of great values to justify for the price.

I have heard of noni juice since many years ago from friends and relatives. However, I was never paying any attention to it and never have a taste on it before. Anyhow, with so many claims that it is good for health, for years, I thought it is a good product for health until recently. Learning nutrition and in the path of looking for a natural way to achieve healthy living, this leads me to open my eyes to many products selling in the market to distinguish the bad from the bundles.

I personally do not have any experience with Noni Juice. Just would like to provide more information for everyone as reference. With so many scam and false information out there, we really need to choose carefully and wisely before spending our hard-earned money on things that might not benefit us, or could even cause harm to us.
