The photo used as an example of Rubus coreanus here is said to be Rubus occidentalis in that article's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:1D50:3:0:EDDD:8041:5469:A6B7 (talk) 10:51, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs rework.

This article needs more real information about THE PLANT, like in which natural habitats it is found, what kind of conditions it needs (the reason why it "can only be grown in a few areas"), etc.

And it definitely needs rework of what is still there now, which seems to be drink producer advertisement (not even really related to the plant, if the drink is made from a different species) and health-claims-marketed dietary supplements advertising (also unclear which species THEY really use!).

I do not know why I did not remove the section describing the industrial production of plant extracts; it really also does not say anything ABOUT THE PLANT species itself.

It seems that producers of drinks and products containing extracts of one raspberry species that might really be the American one heavily capitalize on (maybe traditional?) claims connected with the Korean species (and both really very probably do not differ very much from any other raspberry (and many other edible plants) in their compounds.

Is it even possible to extract "antioxidant compounds/ properties"??? I do have some doubts. As far as I understand it, any fruits and vegetables are most healthy if just eaten as they are, and not processed into extracts. Anybody more substantial knowledge about this?

The sparse references given at the health claims sections seem not to say anything about most of the diseases mentioned in the (Wikipedia)-article; only unripe berries connected to anti-obesity, in only one study title, but this not detailed in the (WP-)article.

It would be really nice, if botanists and other people, possibly from Korea :-) , could contribute more general information about the plant, its use (for eating, too) and also about folk believes and nowadays' industrial selling, in a less one-sided way.

p.s.

I copied the section about false anti-cancer claims (and the US-FDA-warning against them) from the Wikipedia-article 'Ellagic acid', complete with its references.
