Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Rich Pericarp Mangosteen's Dirty Secrets
Phillipies and Thailand are the world's largest suppliers of mangosteen fruit products(1*) and one of the biggest users of herbicides and pesticides in the South Asia region.(2*)
Most of the pesticides are imported; 72% fall into the World Health Organizations hazard category as being extremely hazardous, highly hazardous or moderately hazardous.(3*)
The three main insecticides used are the organophosphates monocrotophos,(4*) methamidophos, (5*) and methyl parathion,(6*) all of which contain carcinogens(7*) and other pathogens.(8*) Over time, human consumption of these pathogens could result in various deadly diseases.(9*)
Before you purchase mangosteen juice or any other mangosteen products, ask yourself the following question: "How clean is the mangosteen juice or mangosteen product that I am consuming?" The most nutritious part of the mangosteen is found the pericarp (inner part of the outer part of the rind) because of its rich xanthone content. Chemical pesticides sprayed on the mangosteen tree will end up on the fruit, especially the skin.
Determining the amount and type of the pesticides sprays that are being used are difficult as most companies get their pericarp from fruit canning companies. These company's can/bottle the pulp (white inner meat) and throw away the skin as "waste material," which is then swept off the floor and sold to companies looking for pericarp. Since those big canning companies purchase their fruits from many different farms, the quality of the pericarp will be inconsistent.
