I recently purchased a case of Goji Berries through Amazon.com, and as a heath WARNINBG for EVERYONE BUT particularly those with Type II diabetes who have LOWERED resistance to ALL sources and kinds of bacterial, fungal and ciral infection, COOK your Goji Berries BEFORE EATING them; I recently ate the LAST ate the last bag of berries purchased from Navita.com via Amazon.com and contracted what I STILL BELIEVE to be food poisoning from those berries; the compnay says their berries can be eaten right out of the pouch BUT for your perssonal safety and that of your family PLEASE thoroughly RINSE these Navita berries in running water FIRST and then COOK them in boiling water BEFORE ingesting them IN ANY other food or simply right out of hand; refrigerate ALL left over fruit and consume within a bout seven days after first sterilzing the berries; DON”T end up like I did in the ER of our local regional mediocal center our here in Phoenix, Atrizona with a fever and diarrhea wh9ch the ER doctors blamed on a urinary tract infection which I already hacd been fighting with antibiotics from my familu doctor ! This is VWRY IMPORTANT for ALL diabetics to know, most ESPECIALLY parents of Children with Juvenile Diabetes who are attempting to assist their children with keeping the blood sugar LOW to prevent blindnes, kidney damage and other horriric complications of diabetes while working on satisfying their kids sweet tooth witn fruit instead of even low sugar or Splenda sweetened desserts all the time ! PLEASE publish this review as Amazon.com could save misery and even LIVES by doing so; ONE MORE warning, IF you open a package of Navita.com Goji Berries and they have a NOTICEABLE sweet, slightly moldy aroma DO NOT eat that product, RETURN it to Amazon.com and get a refund for it, it IS NOT worth getting food p;oisoning just to save a buck by eating those berries which cAn make you quite ill !

Did not have enough experience yet to confirm health benefits of the berrries. Eating berries 1 to three tea spoons daily do not seem to have any side affects. The beneficial effects of the berries, if any, remain to be seen.

Interesting product. Overly hyped, high priced red raisins! This brand is comparable to others. I doubt that they’re grown in the Himalayas. Goji is also grown in California. I didn’t think that this food is especially “super”.

Confirmed Goji Berry causing severe nausia cramping and intestinal pain.

I was introduced to goji berries during the summer as a friend I met had just opened a raw food cafe. His food NEVER (I mean never) gave me any problems it was all delicious and much of it was cacao and goji berries. He has very selective about his sources and does not trust many companies out there.(His Goji comes from Sunfood)

When I returned home from Alaska I decided to try more superfoods and bought a trail mix by Navitas that was Goji, Cacao Nibs, and Cashews. That day I had a green shake for breakfast and a banana for a snack then just a pinch of Goji Berries afterwards. Within the hour I was writhing in pain and couldn’t imagine what it was.

This pain is severe. I wanted to die. It lasted about twelve hours. Including vomiting and diarrhea

Next day I had a big green salad for lunch and then feeling better grabbed another SMALL pinch of goji and within 20 minutes I was in the exact same pain. I knew then it was the goji and instantly typed “goji stomach ache” into google and found threads verifying it.

I called my friend and told him about my reaction and he asked me if it was Navitas. I didn’t recall and didn’t have the bag on me but he said he bet 100% it was them. He had similar reaction to their product and did hydrogen peroxide tests and found them to be rancid. Got home and verified his assertion.

Again, I never had this problem before eating Goji from Sunfood, but this Navitas is killing me.

BEWARE: Detox can be painful enough even on a quality Goji berry. You should start with very small amounts and I would recommend trying alternate brands NOT navitas.

Well, Amazon asked for a review of the gogi berries and what can you say? They are gogi berries. The product arrived in a timely manner and in perfect condition. They taste the same as other gogi berries that I have had and since gogi berries have a reputation for making you happy, perhaps they are just as effective, too. Not a bad deal for the money.
