Absolutely not! TRU NONI is 100% pure juice made from Hawaiian Noni fruit. The fruit is handpicked at the peak of ripeness and is than pressed using a similar method found in the wine industry to extract juice from grapes. Some Noni products can describe themselves as original, authentic, or all natural, but also contain added chemical preservatives, sweeteners in the form of blueberry, grape, apple and other fruit juice concentrates used for flavoring.
