A friend of mine, Michael, told me about this fruit juice product called XanGo. It is a product of the fruit Mangosteen which apparently has the highest concentration of antioxidants found anywhere in nature. Anyways, not that I know much about this product (or antioxidants for that matter) but I do know that antioxidants help reduce levels of free radicals that our bodies (our cells) face daily. Free radicals break down molecules in your body as a result of being highly "volatile" or imbalanced (due to a lack of an electron). And, well, without getting into too much detail, this mangosteen fruit with its high concentration of Xanthones has apparently been quite effective at lowering people's risk for such conditions as heart disease, migranes, anything resulting from inflammation in the body. In my capacity as a PhD I cannot say the studies substantiate all these claims and that these studies are even good ones, or in well-reputable, peer-reviewed journals. However, if anyone is interested, I can let you know more as I know more, and we can even get into a business venture together trying to sell this fruit juice. I am thinking of forming a group, not a pyramid-type thing, but a group of friends, from which we all benefit from contacts and sales we make. Hey, just drop me an email or comment on this entry if interested. I've never done anything like this before. And it seems everyone is doing a little "something on the side" these days. Holler!
