Dear  Friends,

Thank you for your interest in the Goji berry. There is still market confusion about what is sold as 'Goji' Berries and that confusion was initially caused by MLM companies selling goji juice products and writing  product material without enough accurate information. Other companies then copied that false information and created new spins. It is now completely out of control!

Provided herein is information about the false organic status of the Chinese Lycium barbarum being sold as 'Goji' and a monograph from the Tanaduk Botanical Research Institute pointing out the difference between these two lycium berries.

We can start with the question regarding Western and Chinese marketers of Lycium barbarum —the wolfberry.  It is being called a "Goji" berry and  false documentation is being provided thereby giving it "organic status". This is coming from China and and is being presented to the European Union (EU) regulatory agency for transfer of status. The claim is that it is being passed on to the National Organic Program (NOP) of the USDA for approval. However, so far there is no public record of USDA approval of any wolfberry or goji product. Any certified organic labeling or claim of organic status is being done illegally!

The EU is being presented fraudulent Chinese phyto certificates and agricultural documents for transfer of status to get organic certification through the European agents and then using those documents for transfer status to the NOP and USA organic markets. That document routing trail has been checked and it was discovered that Chinese manufacturers and their food brokers were providing fraudulent documents to get their product into organic markets in the UK & the U.S.

There is no organic certification for Chinese wolfberries — Lycium barbarum —the berry that is incorrectly called Goji, nor is there for any food or botanical coming out of China. Organic certification simply do not exist in China and here is why:

Pesticide Use In China

Nochlorine pesticides are conventionally used in commercial wolfberry cultivation to mitigate destruction of the delicate berries by insects. Since the early 21st century, high levels of pyrethroid insecticide residues (including fenvalerate, and cypermethrin) and fungicide residues (such as triadimenol) have been detected by the United States Food and Drug Administration on imported wolfberries and wolfberry products of Chinese origin, leading to the seizure of these products. Due to the demand for organic products in the West, some Chinese growers are beginning to experiment with integrated pest management and to explore the possibility of obtaining organic certification, something that does not yet exist in China.

Some Western resellers may state that their wolfberries are organically grown when in fact they are not. Wolfberries are now often marketed as Goji berries. The Green Certificate claimed by some wolfberry marketers to be the equivalent of the United States Department of Agriculture's "USDA Organic"seal is in actuality simply an agricultural training program for China's rural poor.  China's Green Food Standard administered by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture's China Green Food Development Center, does permit pesticide and herbicide use.

Despite some claims that wolfberries sold in Europe, the United States and Canada meet organic standards, there is no public evidence for standardized organic certification of wolfberries from the regions where they are grown in China.  No organic certification of Lycium berries exits. Any bags of Goji berries labeled with the ingredient Lycium barbarum with organic certified seals such as USDA certified organic are false. Often, these wolfberries are marketed as Tibetan or Himalayan Goji Berries and that is false information. Goji products that list Lycium barbarum as the ingredient are not organic and they are not authentic 'Gojis'.

The areas where Tibetan Lycium 'Goji' berries grow are so remote that no pesticides have ever been used or needed. See Tanaduk Research on home page. The Tibetan Lycium Chinensis 'Goji' berries are tested in U.S. certified labs for purity before distribution is allowed and have always tested free of contaminants.

Study Links DDT Residues to Early
Miscarriages in Chinese Farm Workers

Boston, MA — A study by reseachers at the Harvard School of Public Healthy found that  nonsmoking women with high levels of DDT residues in their bloodstream were far more likely to miscarry during the early weeks of pregnancy than those with lower levels.

The study, to be published in the October 5th, 2007 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology (an Oxford University Press journal), looked at 388 newly married, healthy female commercial herb farm and textile workers in China, between the ages of 20 and 34 years, who were attempting to get pregnant. The results found that those who had the highest levels of DDT residues in their bloodstream were most likely to miscarry during the early weeks of pregnancy, before the women even realized they were pregnant. The researchers initially screened a group of 961 recently married women, full–time workers for the study, excluding 452 because they did not  meet data collection requirements.

DDT production and its use were banned decades ago throughout most of the world, due to concerns about its biologic persistence and potentially harmful effects on humans and animals. However, several countries including China, continue to use DDT and most people continue to carry the chemical's residue in their bodies, even if they live far from areas where DDT was used or produced. DDT is a persistent organic pollutant, meaning it circulates globally and does not break down but instead lingers in the environment and in the soil where it was used. The average level of DDT residues found in the blood of the Chinese women in this study were about 10 times higher than those ordinarily found in the United States, but similar to levels found in some countries where DDT was more recently used eg., China.

As the level of DDT residues found in a woman's preconception blood sample rose, so did the risk of early miscarriage, the study found. Researchers found that for every additional 10 nanograms of DDT per gram of serum, a woman's chance of early miscarriage rose by about 17%. The study did not investigate whether DDT was linked to infertility.

"Although more research in this area is needed, we can see that DDT exposure could have serious consequences on human reproduction," said Scott Venners, lead author of the study and a research associate in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard School of Public Health.

The research was supported by grants from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the U.S. March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation.

Zheng Xiaoyu sentenced to death in May for taking bribes to approve substandard drugs.

BEIJING — China executed a former director of its food and drug agency for approving fake medicine in exchange for cash, illustrating how serious Beijing is about tackling product safety, while officials announced steps to safeguard food at next summer's Olympic Games.

The measures include ensuring the athletes' food is free of substances that could trigger a positive result in tests for banned performance–enhancing drugs. Many of China's recent food woes have been tied to the impurity of ingredients, flavoring, artificial colors and other additives.

During Zheng Xiaoyu's tenure as head of the State Food and Drug Administration from 1997 to 2006, the agency approved six untested drugs that turned out to be fake, and some drug–makers used falsified documents to apply for approvals, according to state media reports. One antibiotic caused the deaths of at least 10 people.

"The corrupt officials of the SFDA are the shame of the whole system and their scandals have revealed some very serious problems," agency spokeswoman Yan Jiangying said at a news conference highlighting efforts to improve China's track record on food and drug safety.

Safety of Olympic fare

Next year's Beijing Olympics, a great source of pride for China, also has been targeted in the crackdown on unsafe food. Sun Wenxu, an official with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, told reporters that athletes, coaches, officials and others can be assured of safe meals.

Food and drug agency spokeswoman Yan acknowledged the agency's supervision remains unsatisfactory and that it has been slow to tackle the problem.

"China is a developing country and our supervision of food and drugs started quite late and our foundation for this work is weak. We are not optimistic about the current food and drug safety situation," she said.

Fears abroad over Chinese–made drugs were sparked last year by the deaths of dozens of people in Panama who took medicine contaminated with diethylene glycol — a thickening agent used in antifreeze — imported from China. It was passed off as harmless glycerin.

Chinese–made toothpaste containing diethylene glycol has been banned in North and South America and Asia, though there have been no reports of health problems stemming from the product. In addition, two brands of toothpaste sold in Spain were pulled from the shelves after the substance was found, by the European Union.

94 deaths in Panama from tainted medicine
China implicated in tainting of children's snack foods.

China has no guidelines banning the chemical in toothpaste, and the government says it is harmless in small amounts. These are clearly unacceptable standards.

In the United States and Canada, pet food containing Chinese wheat gluten tainted with the chemical melamine has been blamed for the deaths of  many dogs and cats. Since then, U.S. authorities have turned away or recalled toxic fish, juice containing unsafe color additives, and popular toy trains decorated with lead paint.

The list of food scares within China over the past year includes drug–tainted fish, toxic chemical loads on commercial botanical farms, industrial dye used to color egg yolks red, and pork tainted with a banned feed additive.

Tighter safety procedures

Zheng's death sentence was unusually severe even for China, which is believed to carry out more court–ordered executions than all other nations combined, and indicates the communist leadership's determination to confront the country's dire product safety record.

Zheng, 63, was convicted of taking cash and gifts worth $832,000 when he was in charge of the food and drug agency.

He was sentenced to death on May 29 and his appeal was rejected on June 12 by the Higher People's Court of Beijing. China's Supreme Court approved the sentence, saying Zheng "committed vile crimes and caused extreme harm to society."

"Although he confessed to some of the crimes of bribe–taking and returned some of the illegal income, it was not enough for leniency," the court said.

Zheng's execution Tuesday morning was confirmed by state television and the official Xinhua News Agency.

"We should seriously reflect and learn lessons from these cases. We should step up our efforts to ensure food and drug safety," Yan declared.

Cao Wenzhuang, a former director of the Food and Drug Agency's drug registration department, was sentenced to death last week for accepting bribes and dereliction of duty. He was given a two–year reprieve, which usually means he can get life in prison if deemed  reformed.

Yan said the food and drug agency was working to tighten its safety procedures and create a more transparent operating environment. The administration has announced a series of measures to tighten safety controls where illegal chemicals or other problems were found.

13 companies banned from exporting

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine posted on its web site, the names of 13 companies that have been banned from exporting after their products were found to be substandard. The list of substandard Chinese companies grows daily, the problem is wide spread and seems endless.

The products included:  rice cakes, cooked mushrooms, dried herbs, commercially grown berries, preserved pears and several kinds of seafood bound for Europe, Japan and North America. Problems included evasion of inspection and quarantine, falsified documents as well as excessive bacteria and sulfur dioxide in the food and the presence of banned drugs.

Meanwhile, authorities promised to investigate water purity after a newspaper reported that more than half of the water coolers in Beijing use counterfeit branded water.

The Beijing Times reported that water jugs are filled with either tap water or purified water from small suppliers and sealed with questionable quality standard marks.The report went on to say that the practice is widespread because water from major suppliers can cost twice as much as water from other sources.

Wu Jianping, an official with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, noted that an inspection of Beijing's drinking water products found more than 96% were safe. However until further investigation ensues, Mr. Wu Jianping can also be considered a suspect Chinese official.

China finds problems with kids' snack foods

Soft drinks, foods, candies removed from stores in country's southwest region Chinese implicated in children's snack foods.

BEIJING — Chinese inspectors found dozens of children's snacks that failed food standards and seized hundreds of bottles of fake human blood protein from hospitals, officials said Tuesday.

China's dismal health and safety record — both within and outside its borders — has increasingly come under the spotlight as its goods make their way to global markets. Major buyers like the United States, Japan and the European Union have pushed Beijing to improve inspections.

Inspectors in southwest China's Guangxi region found excessive additives and preservatives in nearly 40% of 100 children's snacks sampled during the second quarter of 2007, according to a report on China's central government web site.

The snacks — including soft drinks, candied fruits, gelatin desserts and some types of crackers — were taken from 70 supermarkets, department stores and wholesale markets in seven cities in the region.

Only 35% of gelatin desserts sampled met food standards, the report claimed, while two types of candied fruit contained 63 times the permitted amount of artificial sweetener.

The report did not say whether any snacks were recalled or if any manufacturers faced discipline. Calls to the Guangxi Industrial and Commercial bureau rang unanswered Tuesday.

Chinese manufacture and distribute Counterfeit blood protein and tainted food products

Some 420 bottles of fake blood protein, albumin, were found at hospitals in Hubei province but none had been used to treat patients. Liu Jinai, an official with the inspection division of the provincial food and drug administration, provided this information via a telephone interview. No deaths or illnesses were reported.

A shortage of albumin triggered a nationwide investigation in March into whether fakes were being sold.

A state media report last month centered on an inquiry in the northeastern province of Jilin, where 59 hospitals and pharmacies sold more than 2,000 bottles of counterfeit blood protein. One person died from use of said blood according to the report.

Albumin is a primary protein in human plasma that is important in maintaining blood volume. It is used to treat conditions including shock, burns, liver failure and pancreatitis. It is also needed by patients undergoing heart surgery.

Chinese authorities have struggled with recalls following the widespread sale of fake polio vaccines, vitamins, foods and baby formula. Such incidents threaten both public health and faith in the government's ability to control crime and corruption and ensure safety of food and drug supplies. The problems run so deep and so high in the Chinese government that there seems to be no hope for a system of controlled protocols to be developed to  ensure safety. The Chinese ministers will continue to provide only the illusion of safety with falsified documents. Ocassionally the appearance of following protocol appears but they are not administrating controls; nor do they have regulations in place.

In May, the country's former top Chinese drug regulator was sentenced to death for taking bribes and providing false documents to approve substandard medicines, including an antibiotic blamed for at least 10 deaths.

Fears that China's chronic commercial herb and food safety problems were going global surfaced earlier this year with the deaths of dogs and cats in North America blamed on Chinese wheat gluten tainted with the chemical melamine.

Health officials detain Chinese seafood. Tainted Chinese toothpaste has wider reach. Beijing bans 10 types of medications.

U.S. authorities have also turned away or recalled toxic fish, juice containing unsafe color additives and popular toy trains decorated with leaded paint. Chinese–made toothpaste has also been banned by numerous countries in North and South America and Asia for containing diethylene glycol, or DEG, a toxic ingredient more commonly found in antifreeze.

Beijing has striven to appear active in cleaning up problem areas. Inspectors recently announced they had closed 180 food factories in China in the first half of this year and seized tons of candy, pickles, crackers and seafood tainted with formaldehyde, illegal dyes and industrial wax. © 2007 The Associated Press.

Tainted Chinese toothpaste had wider reach 900,000 contaminated tubes distributed in U.S. Colgate reticent during recall. June 14, 2007. The company is slow to educate consumers about counterfeit toothpaste with a potentially dangerous chemical in it, reported  Brian Shactman, CNBC:  "On the Money." Updated: 7:31 a.m. PT June 28, 2007

ATLANTA — Thousands of tubes of contaminated Chinese–made toothpaste were shipped to state prisons and mental hospitals in Georgia, officials said Thursday. This is a sign that U.S. distribution of the tainted products was wider than initially thought.

Officials with the state prison system and with the agencies that run mental hospitals and juvenile detention centers said they knew of no health problems stemming from the Chinese products.

They said the toothpaste contaminated with diethylene glycol, which is often found in antifreeze, was immediately taken out of use as soon as federal officials notified the state about the problem.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration advised consumers to "avoid using tubes of toothpaste labeled as made in China," according to a statement posted on the agency's Web site.

"Out of an abundance of caution, the FDA suggests that consumers throw away toothpaste labeled as made in China," the statement said.

China's "guarantee" of product safety proves false.

Chinese–made toothpaste has been banned by numerous countries in Asia and the Americas for containing diethylene glycol (DEG). It is also a low–cost — and sometimes deadly — substitute for glycerin, a sweetener in many drugs.

The New York Times reported Thursday that about 900,000 tubes have turned up in the United States, including correctional facilities and some hospitals, not just at discount stores as initially thought.

China insisted Thursday that the safety of its products was "guaranteed," making a rare direct comment on spreading international fears over tainted and adulterated exports.

China "has paid great attention" to the safety of its exports, especially food, because it is concerned with people's health, Commerce Ministry spokesman Wang Xinpei said.

"It can be said that the quality of China's exports are all guaranteed," Wang told reporters at a regularly scheduled briefing.

These statements and examples of decepion continue to come from Chinese government officials.

Rick Beal, in the purchasing division of the Georgia Department of Administrative Services, told The Associated Press that cases of the tainted Chinese toothpaste were sent to two state prisons, five state psychiatric hospitals and four juvenile detention facilities.

The prison system was the largest consumer with 5,877 cases. The hospitals had 101 cases plus some loose tubes and the juvenile detention centers had 25 cases. Each case had 144 tubes. Beal said that when the FDA notified the state about contamination with diethylene glycol, the toothpaste was taken out of use."It's being stored," he said. "It's segregated from their operating supply. 'Do not use' signs are place on them. And they're pending disposition."

China shuts 180 food factories for toxic chemicals

Thomas Wilson, a spokesman for the Georgia Department of Human Resources, which oversees the state's seven mental hospitals, said Thursday that after getting the FDA advisory on June 8, the tubes of tainted toothpaste were immediately pulled and replaced with name–brand toothpaste.

"We asked our clinical directors to be on the lookout for any signs of poisoning or symptoms," Wilson said. "We are continuing to monitor the situation."

Steve Hayes, a spokesman for the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice said, "We pulled all the product immediately upon notification that there might be a problem and we've continued to monitor the youth in our care," Hayes said.

A spokesman for North Carolina's Department of Correction told the Times that Pacific brand toothpaste was distributed to prisoners who could not afford to buy a name brand at prison stores. The tubes were taken away after trace amounts of DEG was found in them and that the toothpaste in question was being replaced with brands not manufactured in China.

Alert!

Chinese wolfberry is being sold as 'Goji' berry Most of the Goji berries in the big chain markets, health and whole foods markets are not real Goji berries. They are selling wolfberry called Lycium barbarum which comes from China. Also it would be a false claim if the bag is labeled organic. You read the above information about pesticides in China and corrupt officials passing off phony documents. So now you have documented proof and you know the truth.

The Tibetan Lycium — called 'Goji' — is Lycium Chinensis. This Lycium is soon to be clasified as Lycium Tibeticum and this berry clearly has special qualities. It is the purest and the one chosen for centuries by the great physicians of Tibet. Included here is a monograph that offers further information about the differences between these two Lycium berries. More information is at: www.tanaduk.com.

                        

How did the confusion begin? Where did the name 'Goji' come from?

The Chinese Wolfberry is not a Tibetan Goji berry, although it is often sold under that name. In China there is no traditional or modern reference to the name 'Goji.'  The term 'Goji' is an extrapolation of a number of native words and was originally coined in 1973 by researchers at the Tanaduk Botanical Research Institute (TBRI). The first time the world learned of the word 'Goji' was at the time it was listed in 1977 on packaging for teas that contained Goji berries being sold at Tenzing Momo Apothecary in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. Mongraphs about this Tibetan Lycium called 'Goji' were written by researchers at Tanaduk Institute. That information was later posted on the TBRI website.

A number of things lead to the confusion between these two berries. First, the Goji berry (small, sweet and rounder in shape) and the Wolfberry (larger, oblong shape, acrid and bitter) are both Lycium berries, and they look similar to one another. The Wolfberry or Lycium barbarum is a major export crop, widely cultivated and highly regarded in China for its therapeutic properties. In addition to being cultivated in the popular region of Ningxia, it is also cultivated on very large farms in the regions of Hebei, Gansu, Qinghai, and Shanxi.

Many varieties of Lycium berries grow all over the world, but the highly revered Tibetan Goji berry grows ONLY in areas of Tibet and Mongolia. Wolfberries do not grow in any abundance in the traditional Himalayan botanical collection areas where Goji berries grow. Never in the past have Wolfberries been referred to as 'Goji' berries, or visa versa. That is, until recently. Now that the Tibetan lycium 'Goji' berry has gained worldwide recognition with strong market demand, the much more cheaply cultivated Chinese Lycium barbarum, or Wolfberry, is being passed off as the Tibetan Goji berry.

Another issue that has lead to confusion is the fact that in China, the Wolfberry is called Gou Qi Zi. People began to think that the name 'Goji' must be short for the Chinese name Gou Qi Zi, even though these two berries are completely different.

In addition, several years ago a number of multi–level marketing (MLM) companies started a product called Tibetan Goji juice. On the label it states it is made with Wolfberries: Chinese Lycium barbarum. Others then followed suit, using the MLM companies' rewritten material with additional  fabrications. The rest is history. Soon dozens of companies using faulty information began selling the Chinese wolfberries as the Tibetan Goji.

Where do Goji berries grow?

This special red 'Goji' berry is found growing wild in remote valleys and hillsides that traverse along green belt areas located between Tibet but mostly in Mongolia. This is where the best conditions exist for the production of the most nutrient–dense food on earth. The soil is usually alkaline (pH of 8.2 to 8.6), and very fertile. The temperatures get very cold and very hot (from 102 °F. to –16 °F). This soil and climate produces the special, hardy Tibetan Goji berries that are small, plump, beautiful and famous. They are a deep red color with few seeds and an exquisitely sweet taste.

What do Goji berries look and taste like?

Whole, dried Goji berries are bright red and about the size of a raisin, but not quite as sweet as a raisin. Their flavor might be likened to a combination of cherries, dates, and raspberries. The vines of Goji plants often reach well over fifteen feet. The harsh climates in the traditional growing areas for Goji berries are partially responsible for the plant's hardiness and potency. It can be likened to the way the highest antioxidant blueberries found in the U.S. come from the harsh, yet rich and fertile climate of Alaska. Research done at New Brunswick Labs have extensively investigated blueberries grown in the U.S., showing a direct correlation between harsh climates and antioxidants in fruit. Plants, given all the nutrients they need to be healthy, actually make more substances to protect themselves from harsh environments.

Evidence shows that nutrients in Goji berries improve cell communication and have anti–oxidant as well as anti–inflammatory properties. These substances have been shown to increase mitochondrial function and detoxification. It has also been shown that nutrient dense foods such as Goji berries are far superior to supplementation than isolated nutrients contained in capsules or tablets.

Goji berries are found growing wild in remote, fertile valleys. They are naturally rich in antioxidants, carotenoids, vitamin A, and Zeaxanthin. They contain B–complex vitamins, Vitamin C, and important polysaccharides. These special little berries contain more protein than whole wheat (they are 10% protein) and supply 18 different amino acids including all 8 essential amino acids. In addition, Goji berries are loaded with many phytonutrients.

Medicinal use and energetic properties of the Goji berry:

The Goji berry — Lycium Tibeticum/Chinensis variety — is used in Tibetan Medicine to bring tonic and immune building strength to formulas that include other botanicals. Because of its neutral and sweet energetic properties it is suitable for use in many healing formulas that treat both hot and cold disease etiologies.  Furthermore it is a food source both fresh and dried.

The Wolfberry — the Chinese Lycium barbarum — has an energetic nature that is hot, acrid and not suitable for use where heat conditions are prominent or where there is Spleen deficiency or digestive weakness. In Chinese medicine it is used only in combination with other herbs in formulas. It has never traditionally been used as a single herb medicine or as a food source. However in the past seven years and for the first time in Chinese history, wolfberry has begun entering the food market as a juice product in China.  It is being distributed around the world to juice companies along with their false Certificate of Analysis document.

More History About The Goji Berry

The foundations of wildcrafting methods, for simple farming and a desire to preserve the traditional Tibetan medicines and practices, prompted the founder of the Tanaduk Botanical Research Institute of Tibetan Medicine, Dr. Bradley Dobos, to create a plan for botanical survival. Together with directors of His Holiness The Dalai Lama's Institute of Tibetan Medicine and several Tibetan medical Lamas, they decided to view the Tibetan Lycium (the one Dobos named 'Goji') berry in a new light. Here was an opportunity to simultaneously reveal a great food source to the world and to create resources to protect and cultivate endangered plants used in traditional medicines.The intention is to serve and to educate. In the mid–seventies the Tibetan Medicinal Plant Conservation Program was created under the auspices of the Tanaduk Botanical Reasearch Institute. For almost thirty years it has been the aim of the Program to support Tibetan farmers, teaching wildcrafting methods and to raise global awareness of various indigenous flora, their attributes and the cultural significance assigned to them. This in turn is working to raise awareness that helps to preserve these endangered plants and traditions. When thinking about getting the berries into distribution supply lines for the world market, a very thoughtful and protective distribution method arose out of concern for over popularity in the world market of a single botanical or group of botanicals.

The Goji Farmers Collective (a co–op) was created in 1974 by a group of Tibetan Medical Lamas and botanical researchers to support these farmers and protect their ancient wild growing areas. Through it, the Tanaduk Botanical Research Institute began to organized the farmer/harvester into a co–op and initiate wildcrafting techniques to ensure sustainability. This allows for fair trade negotiations and appropriate wages for the wildcrafters and farmers maintaining these contracts for worldwide export of Goji berries. The Tibetan Goji Berry Company was created to be the authorized comptroller for the distribution of the authentic Goji berry from these ancient medicinal valleys and precious Goji growing regions. This single office  properly manages the distribution of 'Goji' so that the traditional Tibetan clinics, Doctors and monastic medical facilities (who have been using these berries for many generations) will continue to have their Lycium supplies first. The rest is then made available to the world market. Over harvesting is now not an issue with this Lycium berry, as wildcrafting standards are well practiced and the traditional Himalayan medical clinics, that have been using these specific berries for medicines, will still always be getting the supplies they need every year as they are part of the distribution protection plan established with the counsel of highly trained Tibetan medical Lamas and botanical conservationists for Tanaduk Institute.
