Mangosteens




This is mangosteen. The fruit may not looked very pretty but inside the flesh is so juicy and sweet. Yummy.It is interesting to find out that mangosteen can keep cancer away and are anti - diarrhoea.
Quote:
Studies have shown that phytoceuticals in Mangosteen (in some cases known to be its xanthones) have properties such as: anti-tumor (shrinks tumors), anti-leukemia, antifungal (critical for all cancer patients), antibacterial (to protect DNA), antioxidants (at least two dozen different kinds of xanthones are in the mangosteen fruit), antiproliferation, kills cancer cells and causes apoptosis (programmed cell death) for some types of cancer.Source: http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Mangosteen.html
