Why You Want To Eat the Superfood Goji Berries Daily

http://www.superfoodhealthyliving.com/article-Marine-Phytoplankton.html

Celebrities are eating goji berries, and online companies are promoting all kinds of goji products with health claims that range from protection of the retina in your eye all the way to cancer prevention and even cure. But what is actually known about the nutrition of goji berries?

It's often said they are one of the most nutritionally dense foods known, and this appears to be true. The list of nutrients, in high concentration, is impressive: plant-derived polyphenolic antioxidants; carotenoids such as beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, and lycopene; vitamins C, B1, B2, and niacin; more than 30 essential and trace minerals, including zinc, iron, copper, calcium, selenium, and phosphorus; polysaccharides; and 18 amino acids such as isoleucine, tryptophan, leucine, and arginine. That list may help explain why goji berries have the highest ORAC score among 46 foods (and one tea) listed on one web page. Goji is truly the best food to up your body's antioxidant activity!

However, even that long list of nutrients above may not be the full story behind goji's high free radical scavenging power in the body. In science, there's something known as synergism, and it basically means that the total effect is greater than the individual effects added together. In some cases, one agent helps stabilize or even promote another agent, for example vitamins C and E protecting and perhaps even potentiating each other in the human body. In goji's case, the "missing link" may be superoxide dismutase (SOD). It is the antioxidant that scavenges one of the most damaging free

radicals in the body.

@greatbydesign33 i totally agree. this is not what raw food living should be about. i've seen others here on youtube who take a much more grounded approach to living raw. besides, he is not that old, how can he be a longevity expert?? i am sure in an another time/place he would be pushing something else, he is a natural born salesman

I am starting to think this guy is all about money. His products are more expensive than the commercial stuff out there.
