Problems With Preservatives

June 6th, 2009 No comments

I posted about a month ago about how there are so many companies out there pushing their nutritional juice and that most of them have preservatives.  Well, I received an email this morning from my upline about a comparison between our product, Ciaga, with a competing product.  I won’t name the other company because my point isn’t to bash them and their product, but to point out that you really need to watch out when preservatives are involved.

It turns out that their product includes Sodium Benzoate, a preservative, which can react with the high Vitamin C content to produce Benzene.  Benzene is an organic solvent that is known to cause cancer and liver damage.  I recommend that when you are going to put something in your body, you read the label first and see what it is.  Reconsider products with artificial ingredients because you never know how they will react with the other chemicals added, or the food itself.  Consider 100% natural or,  better yet, organic alternatives that contain only what is advertised and promote better living.

Our product, Ciaga, is 100% natural containing 97% juices and 3% fruit solids.  It contains no preservatives, added sugar, or added water.

BTW, I also found out that added water means “reconstituted from dried fruit powder”.  Ciaga is definitely NOT reconstituted.

I have my Ciaga, do you?

Nutritional juices

May 13th, 2009 3 comments

Have you ever noticed how there are a ton of nutritional juice products out there all claiming to be the best?  Xango, Goji, Vemma, Ciaga, Mona Vie.  I know there are plenty more.  I recently had two people from a company that was new to me want me take a look at their product.  Sure enough, it was a juice product.

When looking at a new drink I always go straight for the nutritional label.  I want to know what’s in it.  The things that always concern me is added water, usually purified by reverse osmosis (highly acidic), and added preservatives.  They aren’t added because they are good for you.

I promote Ciaga, an organic juice with no added water, no preservatives, and a high ORAC (antioxidant) rating.  Until someone can show me another juice that compares with that, I’m going to stick with my Ciaga.  I only need to take one ounce a day, it is sweet, and my kids love it.  What more could you ask for?
