Mangosteen 山竹果

The mangosteen is a small fruit with white flesh, popular throughout Asia. One group of scientists has proposed that alpha-mangostin, an antioxidant found only in mangosteen, can cause cell death in leukemia cells, effectively treating the disease. While more research needs to be done, mangosteen is also said to have powerful anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiseptic properties.
山竹果，外形小巧，白色果肉，它是在亞洲很受歡迎的水果之一。一項研究結果已提出：只有在山竹果里才發現一種叫倒捻子素的抗氧化劑，它對白血病細胞有殺傷作用，對治療白血病有一定效果。當然，更多的研究有待進行，因為據說山竹果還有消炎、抗菌、防腐、消毒的特性。
