Nutrition Degree Focus: The "Juice" on Goji Juice
Nutrition Degree Training Schools | Wellness Community Bulletin
| | Increase your energy, lower your stress, look younger and feel happier. Can one product provide all of these benefits? It depends who you are asking. Certainly, Goji juice has garnered attention for the health benefits it claims. And a Google search will turn up about enough online stores selling Goji products to keep you shopping all night. But what real results can it deliver? |
As ABC News reports, herbalists in China, Tibet and India have believed for thousands of years that Goji helps fight many diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer. But physicians in the United States remain skeptical, citing the lack of scientific evidence to support the benefits of Goji juice or other Goji products.
At AOL's The Cancer Blog, contributors agree that claiming a product can work as a panacea for serious illnesses can deter critically ill people from effective treatment. However, natural health products, including Goji juice, can have positive effects on health and should be marketed appropriately.
Turn your interest in natural health studies into a rewarding career. A nutrition degree can put you on the leading edge of the latest natural health research. Whether it's Goji juice or another high-profile remedy or topic, earning your nutrition degree will provide you with the education and insight to lend your voice to the debate.
