		<description>Fred, it may benefit you to actually read what the peer-reviewed study found about MonaVie.
The product had a total ORAC of 22.81 umoles/ml.  It had a total phenolics (polyphenols) of 1.48 mg/ml.

The AIBMR study (Dr. Schauss) was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry - 2008, Vol 56, pgs. 8326-8333

Interestingly, another study was published in that exact same printing.  That study was conducted by the Center for Human Nutrition, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA.
This can be found on pages 1415-1422.

The UCLA study (Comparison of Antioxidant Potency of Commonly Consumed Polyphenol-Rich Beverages in the United States) went much further than the limited AIBMR study.  The authors not only compared polyphenols (phenolics), but also ORAC, DPPH, FRAP, and TEAC of twelve different beverages.

Using the data on MonaVie provided by AIBMR, we can rank the antioxidant potency somewhere between acai juice and black cherry juice.
Pomegranate juice, Red wine, Concord grape juice, blueberry juice, and black cherry juice all rank well ahead of MonaVie.

That&#039;s just the juices.  If you compare the ORAC of various fruits and vegetables found in the USDA ORAC Table, MonaVie is a non-player when it comes to antioxidant potency.

I&#039;m surprised that you are still trying to use this as a selling point.  I believe most of the distributors have given up on using ORAC values.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t you see the point of the quote?  Both Men&#039;s Journal and MonaVie&#039;s Dr. Schauss come to the same conclusions.

The Men&#039;s Journal article was not &quot;research&quot; it was tested by an independent lab.  Dr. Schauss is not independent, he is on MonaVie&#039;s board of advisors.  Even his tests show that MonaVie isn&#039;t very nutritious.</description>

		<description>&quot;The interesting thing to me is that this is exactly what Men’s Journal said about MonaVie, “[MonaVie Active] tested extremely low in anthocyanins and phenolics… even apple juice (which also tested poorly) has more phenolics…”&quot;


Which peer-reviewed scientific journal is Men&#039;s Journal&#039;s research published?

Here&#039;s where you can find Dr. Schauss&#039;s research--&gt;
