Noni: klamavá reklama vs. skutečná biologická aktivita

V poslední době se v českých lékárnách objevuje nový „zázrak přírodní medicíny“ zvaný noni. Je to džus z plodů rostliny Morinda citrifolia a má údajně léčit deprese, nespavosti, bolesti různého původu, alergie, astma, artritidu, cukrovku, poruchy trávení, hypertenzi a rakovinu. Dále má posilovat imunitu, odstraňovat jaterní problémy a snižovat nadváhu. Bohužel je většina těchto účinků opřena o výzkum dr. Heinickeho, který je přinejmenším pochybný. Morinda citrifolia je sice zdraví prospěšná a farmaceuticky využitelná rostlina, která se díky reklamě dobře prodává, ale její skutečné farmakologické účinky nejsou dobře prozkoumány.
