Healthy lifestyle with Goji berries.

Goji berry is popularly known as Himalayan Goji berry. Grown in the Himalayan regions of Tibet and Mongolia, these small oblong-shaped bright red berries are one of the most nutrient-rich plant foods on earth. There are many claims on the effects of Goji berries on cancer cells. However, I couldn't find any scientific proof about it. Depending on the brand, goji berries are sold at health food stores in Canada from: $10.99 for a 100-gram bag to $19.99 for 500 grams (dried berries). As it's an expensive fruit, I guess there should be a huge market out there for it.

US Department of Agriculture has recently rated Goji berry as No 1 on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). The scale was developed to measure the antioxidant level in foods and, the higher the score, the more capable that food is of destroying the free radicals that cause cancer and speed up the aging process. Goji berries scored a spectacular 25,300 per 100g, while prunes, which came second, had a mere 5,770 per 100g.
