Mangosteen is typically advertised and marketed as part of an emerging category of novel functional foods sometimes called "superfruits" [5] [6] [7] presumed to have a combination of 1) appealing subjective characteristics, such as taste, fragrance and visual qualities, 2) nutrient richness, 3) antioxidant strength and 4) potential impact for lowering risk against human diseases.
When analyzed specifically for its edible aril, mangosteen meets only the first criterion above, as its overall nutrient profile is absent of important content,[8] it contains no pigmentation (correspondingly, no antioxidant phytochemicals in significant concentration) and there is no scientific evidence of aril constituents having any health properties.[9] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangosteen On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 3:52 PM, Tony <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > its mangosteen, not > mango > > yanno, you can read a WIDE variety of things about it. > is it real, is it true? does it work? i dont know... id love to know. > hahaha, its funny, weird shit. > > tw > > > On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 4:43 PM, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > i am not sure that there are that many people in the world who are > > interested in mango juice.
