Dear CAOH,

How do the polysaccharides found in fresh goji berries survive “flash” pasteurization?  Are they still present in your juice?  In what form is the juice shipped to the US?

Thank you,

Dan Allis

Answer: Dan,

Flash pasteurization is well below the temp. threshold to destroy PS’s, enzymes or other valuable phytochemicals present in the goji juice (Goji Fusion). Sterile processing, which FreeLife (and many others) use, utilizes a very high temp, that in my professional opinion, can and does destroy all vital, biological components.

The goji is shipped as is, after flash pasteurization, to us in the U.S.

Hello,

Just wanted to know if your Goji juice is just as good as the leading MLM’s (Freelife’s) Goji. More particularly, I would like to know if the active ingredients are equivalent, that is, the four polyphenols (1,2,3 and 4) that are peculiar to the Goji Berry. Additionally, it is noted that CAOH has independent quality testing….I would like to know if a copy of the report is available for review. A comparison to “Genesis Today’s” 100% Goji juice (no additives, no blending) would also be helpful in evaluating CAOH’s juice.

Thank you for your prompt response to the above questions.

Wayne

Wayne,

FYI: the active ingredient is a Polysaccharide not Polyphenol and yes they are identical.

We do participate in independent quality testing on our Goji Juice and all of the other juices we produce. We do test for pesticides, mold, fungus, microbes and heavy metals. I can personally attest to our quality in relation to purity and being free of any harmful chemical. My wife, myself and our 23 month old daughter consume it everyday.

Our policy (NOW) is to not provide copies (of any in house report), solely on the basis that the competition in this industry will and has used our data against us; always taken out of context, of course. You do have my personal guarantee.

I have not heard of Genesis but I will look them up.
