Goji berries are berries that are sold in dried form, as juice and as tea.They are said to affect your mood, skin, hair and even your immune system.This is partly because it contains a lot of vitamin C.That is disappointing, because a bell pepper contains four times as much vitamin C as 100 grams of goji berries.Goji berry comes from traditional Chinese medicine.The berries are said to have an antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect.They may also prevent dementia and diabetes.In addition, the berries also play an important role in the prevention of elevated cholesterol, thrombosis, cancer, a lowered resistance, liver inflammation and male infertility.This has not been confirmed by science.Because of this, the berries are not allowed to carry these claims.The studies that have been done on goji berries for cancer have been done with an extract.This means that a very concentrated form has been made of it.This showed that the goji berries can help destroy the cancer cells.Research has only been done in the laboratory, not in humans.Since eating goji berries is not the same, and no research has been done in people with cancer, we cannot say that goji berries are good for cancer.Eat goji berries because you like them, not to prevent cancer.Also read: Do superfoods help prevent cancer?DU, X., Zhang, J., Liu, L., Xu, B., Han, H., Dai, W., Pei, X., Fu, X., & Hou, S.
