OTHER POINTS TO NOTE
Goji berries were lauded as ‘superfood’ some years ago, with claims of their health benefits based on the fact that they are high in a number of antioxidants and polysaccharides.
These claims have not been scientifically tested, and a class action was actually filed against a producer in the United States for making false and misleading claims!
