My collection of info on raspberry juice (note NOT cordial as it does not meet the strength levels needed and is often apple juice anyway) follows:
A recently recommended preventative with solid (no pun intended) support is Raspberry juice - with at least 30%, preferably more, real juice in the blend. Mix it strong - 25% cordial: 75% bottled water. Ellagic acid is the ingredient that makes the difference! Some people have a neat swig every morning before breakfast, about 10 mil of 100% strength, 20 mil for 50% etc.
Good for kids.
In Oz, some Coles Supermarkets stock Sunraysia Premium Raspberry Delight - 80% - A$7.99 for 375 ml. It is a warehouse item and can be ordered in by any Coles manager. Also available from many supermarkets in Bali, including Circle K shops.
100% natural Garden Fresh raspberry fruit syrup is available at the Pasadena Foodland in South Oz, A$5.50 for 750 ml bottle, also Golden Grove Village. Other Foodland managers can get stock in for you with a little persuasion. Contains only sugar, raspberry juice and citric acid. Used for drink flavouring and dessert toppings.
Also raspberry syrup available at Gaganis Bros just off South Road at the intersection with Grange Road. 1.5 litres for A$4.95.
Anchor Cordial is available from Dewsons and Supa Valu in the northern Perth suburbs. *** Check the concentration of raspberry.
Cascade Raspberry Fruit Juice Syrup is also good. Ph Freecall 1800 641 647 for stockists in your (Oz) area.
