Have you ever heard of the Queen of Fruit? This is the honour given to a tropical fruit called Mangosteen.
Mangosteen has been used for centuries by Asian health practitioners for its tremendous nutritional benefits and delicious flavor. There’s a legend about Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, who offered a reward to anyone who could deliver to her this fabled fruit. This story was
printed in a U.S. newspaper article in 1925:Queen Victoria on her throne, surrounded by retainers eager to obey her every wish, with the luxuries of the world at her beck, longed for something that even the resources of the British Empire could not procure for her. She longed for a taste of mangosteen, the wondrous fruit of the East. Requests and offers of reward proved unavailing. No one, even the most enterprising, could bring it to London… the Queen of England never tasted mangosteen.
Mangosteen’s tremendous health benefits is due to its high antioxidant property and high xanthone level.
The Queen of Fruit
There are a lot of published studies and researches about Mangosteen, here are a few examples:
Xanthones from mangosteen extracts as natural chemopreventive agents: potential anticancer drugs.
Effect of a mangosteen dietary supplement on human immune function: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Potential of xanthones from tropical fruit mangosteen as anti-cancer agents: caspase-dependent apoptosis induction in vitro and in mice.
Anti-cancer effects of xanthones from pericarps of mangosteen.
Medicinal properties of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana).
These are just a few examples. If you search Mangosteen on PubMed (the recognised search engine for scientific research publications), you will get around 190 results!
I know you probably don’t have time to read through all these articles. Below is 2-part audio about Mangosteen by Dr John Edward.
