My best friend in London, Christine has been obsessively been talking about something called Goji berries (also called Wolfberry), which apparently Madonna eats.
Talk about celebrity endorsement! Since then, Tesco (UK) has been stocking up and Christine told me that there is a sign outside claiming Madonna is a fan of them. Well, if it’s good enough for Madonna it’s good enough for all of us!
The fruit has been called the new ‘superfruit’ and recently been rated No 1 on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) by the US Department of Agriculture, so says this article. (This article is pretty old though, last I heard Coffeeberry, found in skincare line REVALESKIN that you apply, rather than eat, was the latest to top that scale? Correct me if I’m wrong!)
Also, Goji berries have 2,000 more antioxidants and 500 times the amount of vitamin C per weight as oranges. They further contain beta-carotene, vitamins B1 and B2, minerals and amino acids, and are believed, among other things, to strengthen the immune system, help eyesight, protect the liver, boost the sperm count and improve circulation. Dang – not bad!
Is anyone obsessed with Goji berries like my friend and Madonna?! :-P

Thank you Binwah! :-)
Boosts sperm count? Now that’s something you don’t hear everyday. Wonder why Madonna would need a higher sperm count though… ;)
