Toxicity & Cautions:

毒素與禁忌﹕

The Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies of European Food Safety Authority 

concludes that ‘Morinda citrifolia (Noni) fruit puree and concentrate as novel food 
ingredients’ under the specified conditions are considered safe for the general population. 
However the Panel considers that the increasing number of case reports might indicate

 that some individuals have a particular sensitivity for hepatotoxic effects to noni fruit products. 

Noni fruit (and its products) are listed by the U.S. State Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

 as toxic items.
There are reports that:
(1) those with renal dysfunction had higher chance for renal damage.
(2) more cases of acute hepatitis have been reported after consumption of noni products.

歐洲食品安全局的飲食產品，營養和過敏專家小組得出結論認為諾麗果漿和

濃縮新型食品對於一般人群，在特定條件下被認為是安全的。
然而，小組認為，越來越多的病例報告可能表明，一些人對諾麗果產品的肝

毒性作用特別敏感。

本品(及其產品)被美國國家藥物食品管理局(FDA)列為有毒植物。

有報告指出：

(1)腎功能低下的人，更會造成腎功能的傷害。

(2)多例在食用諾麗產品後，造成急性肝炎。
