Funny... I was just talking to a tree farm owner today that is growing the plant that provides the "mona-vie" you wrote about. From what I was told, the current Mona Vie product on the market is not pure "mona-vie", its 20% of the phyto-chemical and 80% juice of apple or cranberry (mostly from concentrate). Like many of the "this will prolong your life" products out there, I am hesitant to endorse anything. They are just potions with savvy marketing skills. Vitamins in a bottle that go rancid if exposed to oxygen. (which is why they need to be refrigerated as soon as you open a bottle).
Seems to me your healthy approach to eating is probably the best thing you can do. If you want phyto-chemicals, you are getting them in the stuff you are already eating!
Another thing about the mona-vie type juices is that they come predominantly from countries that have no restrictions on pesticide use... so, how healthy is it really?
