21. Have you heard about the "Queen of Fruits"..Mangosteen www.myxango.com/jefferybford Posted at 7:00PM on Oct 16th 2007 by Dr. Jeffery Ford22. When you have a colonoscopy you will drink something the night before that cleans out your colon. It is not painful. I slept through it. They do medicate you. I did not lose weight!
Having colon cancer would be worlds worse than having a simple, painless test.I know people who do have colon cancer. If it's in your family have the test much sooner than 50!

Yes we still eat blue berries and other fruit but we have our acai berry juice every day. www.wesharemonavie.com Posted at 7:37PM on Oct 16th 2007 by tresia24. Go to Wikipedia for INDEPENDENT information with no ax to grind. Type in ¡°Mangosteen¡± http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangosteen and scroll down to ¡°Nutrient content and antioxidant strength¡± it shows there:
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]
Now go to Phytochemical http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytochemical and scroll down to
¡°The top 10 phytonutrient rich foods¡±
? A?a¨ª berries ¨C dietary fiber, anthocyanins, omega-3, omega-6, Beta-sitosterol. A?a¨ª is the highest scoring plant food (spices excepted) for antioxidant ORAC value[6]

Blueberries are a great food, for those whose digestive apparatus can handle the rather high acidity--and who don't mind the insect larvae within, at least within the wild blueberries. I believe that if you check relative nutritional value of fruits, you will find that watermelon is the richest of all fresh fruits--and one of the most easily digestible foods, if eaten by itself or with avocado.

PLEASE NOTE the last part of the second paragraph.
The mangosteen is known as the "queen of fruits." It is a tropical fruit that has a citrusy, peachy flavor and grows in sections, much like tangerines, though they are not actually citrus fruits (they are classified as arils). Each section of the Mangosteens comes in a thick, purple rind, but the fruit itself is nearly colorless.
Although the mangosteen is sometimes considered with the class of functional foods known as "superfoods," along with blueberries and acai, it really doesn't fit into the category. It does not have anywhere near the antioxidant content of those foods and no studies exist that support the claim that mangosteens play a healing or preventative role in any illness/condition.
It is extremely difficult to find mangosteens in the US, although there is one company attempting to grown them on US soil. If you want to give them a try, your best bet is to travel to South East Asia to look for fresh ones or to look at specialty grocery stores for freeze-dried mangosteens, like the pictured bag that I found at Trader Joe's.
