Noni Juice TOXCICITY has KILLED A MAN
February 5, 2008

Apologies for the bad translation here but if you want you can read the news at ABC.ES (in Spanish).

A man has DIED and another person in the family is affected by a poisoning, presumably associated to the consumption of noni (a tropical fruit) juice, in the granadina locality of Ogíjares. The Council of Health has issued an alert. The American company Tahitian Noni International, that sells the juice, assured that its product was approved by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in 2003 and has passed controls sanitary as much in Tahití, producing island of the fruit, like in the countries where east juice is bottled.

BUT DID THEY ALSO ADMIT TO CONTAMINATION ISSUES ?

This man, of 40 years of age, died shortly after having had breakfast that included Noni Juice, of which he was habitual consumer. A few minutes after ingesting the juice the victim felt a sensation of creeps in the mouth and blurred vision. These symptoms also affected the other person who took the juice. Health services could do nothing for the man and had two hypotheses; poisoning or anaphylactic shock.

The article also says that in addition to Noni Juice being sold as a “health supplement” that there is no scientific evidence of ANY benefits attributed to Noni Juice.

Kathrin Aue from Tahitian Noni in Europe defends the juice by saying it is “totally safe” for human consumption because it has passed all requirements of the EFSA. In a statement the company said it is trying to find the lot number of the bottle in order to figure out what region of French Polynesia the noni came from and from what trees it was extracted.

WE DOUBT THAT VERY MUCH, WHICH TREE IT CAME FROM?!

And last but not least,
HAS THIS ALSO PASSED THE EFSA REQUIREMENTS?

I came to know Noni juice for the first time in UAE when a friend described the juice for me as Iwas suffereing from broken bones in my leg after a car accident.Later a friend who is deabetic came to visit me and he became curious when he saw the Noni bottle beside my bed.I told him about the product and that Iheard about its positive effect on deabetic persons as well.He was willing to try the product and I gave him a sip.After drinking it,the man then sweat and felt sleepy and had actually slept in the sofa few minutes after he drank the juice.I think the juice has two adverse effect in different persons.One effect is to make people active and alert and this is its effect on me personaly , another effect is to make some others sleepy and inactive!.These two effects are similar to the effect of narcotic drugs when they are crude plants as they each cut of such plants give different feeling to the users.These sorts of effects are not the one which are felt from other juices or even medicines as they give identical results
