Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi, I saw this article on Mangosteen and it's anti-cancer effects. Thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with the group.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 everybody needs to develop a kind of reality sensor when it comes to assessing new products and the marketing hype that surrounds it there is of course a relatively new mangosteen juice product on the market (although its not only mangosteen) that is being touted as the next big thing - while i don't have any complaints with it, the reality is that it is an expensive product that can't live up to the hype that surrounds it in my opinion, mangosteens are a delicious and excellent food, like so many other fruits, and the best way to get all of them is to eat them fresh - just like you might prefer fresh carrot juice over canned carrot juice if mangosteens are locally available then please eat them (on an empty stomach!) but if not, the benefit you get from drinking the bottled stuff is probably proportional to the amount you can afford to budget for it - otherwise, find cheaper, organically-grown local fruits and juice them fresh, in season if you want, do the research and then you too can celebrate whatever class of antioxidant chemical found in them, be it ellagic acid strawberries, anthocyanadins in blueberries, or beta carotene in carrots best... todd caldecott > I saw this article on Mangosteen and it's anti-cancer effects. > Thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with the group.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 These commercial drinks, Mangosteen being the latest here, before that Goji, and before that Noni, are all very expensive and the first day I found the mangosteen juice in my wholesaler @ over $60 for 750 ml I found fresh Mangosteen in the Chinese grocer for $7.95 a kg - having never hear of them before - very difficult to open though! You need a chain saw!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 yeah, its pretty crazy the way marketing works one of the most powerful tools for communication, but almost without exception used to serve a very narow version of a half truth - health does not depend upon a mangosteen!! regarding mangosteens, you really need to crack them open, with your hands or perhaps a blunt object - too fibrous to try to cut or saw them also, maybe the ones you found were a little old perhaps? best... todd > These commercial drinks, Mangosteen being the latest here, before that Goji, and before that Noni, are all very expensive ............very difficult to open though!
