Is the Goji Berry Safe to Eat?
Health May 5th. 2009, 3:58amThere are many people who want to eat the goji berry but since it is usually not grown in the United States, some people have concerns. Some should be noted for your caution. The goji berry tea can inhibit warfarin metabolism.
But, not all of them can be like this. But if you are afraid especially if you are taking some kind of drugs, check with your doctor before consuming any goji berry products. Some people are concerned about Atropine, which is a toxic alkaloid found in other members of the Solanaceae family. This alkaloid can occur naturally in the goji berry fruit.
But, all the goji berries from China and Thailand have been tested and found that they do not contain high enough toxic substances to be worried about.
