anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, and other fatty acids. Studies have
shown that acai has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and apoptic (pro-
grammed cell death). effects A study published in the Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry, showed extracts of Acai berries trig-
gered apostisis in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested.
Mangosteen (Garcinia magostana) is a plant native to Southeast
Asia. Studies reveal that xanthones from the fruit hulls of mangos-
teen have antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti?inflammato-
ry properties. In one study mangosteen’s xanthones significantly
inhibited the growth of leukemia cells. One xanthone in particular,
alpha?mangostin, showed complete inhibition of leukemia cells
through the induction of apoptosis (programmed cell death). Other
studies indicate xanthones from mangosteen inhibit the activities of
COX?1 and COX?2 enzymes, prevent oxidative damage of LDL cho-
lesterol, have cytotoxic effects on liver cancer cells, and are antipro-
liferative, antioxidative, and apoptic against breast cancer cells.
Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum) polysaccharides exhibit anti-tumor,
immune enhancing and liver-protective properties. Studies suggest
that Goji polysacharides have positive effects when used with con-
ventional cancer treatments. A 1994 study done in China on
patients with a variety of cancers revealed that patients who were
given Goji Berry polysaccharides along with their conventional can-
cer treatment had a 40.9 percent response rate to the treatment,
while patients who received conventional treatment without the Goji
Berry supplement had only a 16.1 percent response rate.
Additionally the Goji Berry supplemented patients experienced
longer remissions and had a significant increase in natural killer cell
activity. Goji berries contain high levels of Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid
necessary for healthy vision that is present in high amounts in the
macula of the human eye. The Zeaxanthin in Goji berries is a natu-
rally esterifed zeaxanthin which has been proven to cause a higher
increase in plasma levels than the non-esterified form contained in
many supplements. Researchers have concluded that Goji is one of
the best antioxidants to promote healthy aging.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) contains thousands of phytochem-
icals including anthocyananins, ellagic acid derivatives, catechins and
procyandins, flavonols, fatty acids and sterols. Human studies show
that pomegranate polyphenols and their metabolites offer protection
against various diseases. Pomegranate increases nitric oxide produc-
tion in the endothelial cells of the vascular system protecting against
cardiovascular disease. Studies show consumption of the juice bene-
fits patients with carotid artery stenosis, those with hypertension, and
those with coronary heart disease. Pomegranate has been heavily
studied in the treatment of prostate cancer. In one study when men
with aggressive prostate cancer were given pomegranate juice daily
after treatment by surgery or radiation, there was over a four-fold
prolonged delay in prostate specific antigen (PSA) doubling time,
and the rate of PSA rise was reduced by 50% over the course of just
one year. Numerous other studies demonstrate pomegranate inhibits
inflammation, slows cartilage loss in arthritis, improves sperm health,
and increases the overall antioxidant capacity of the blood.

The Truth About Coconut Oil
The information on coconut oil that circu-
lates on the Internet makes it seem like a
cure-all. If you believe everything you read,
this “miracle” substance is the answer to
infections, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and
weight loss. But as is the case with much of
what you find on the Internet, many of these
claims are overblown.
There is no question that coconut oil is a
healthy type of fat, but many of the prevail-
ing health claims are based on misinterpreted
science. Let’s take a look at what the science
really tells us about the health benefits of
coconut oil.
The History Of The Coconut
Recorded in Sanskrit in the Vedas, the old-
est (circa 1500 BC) scriptures of Hinduism,
the coconut is said to nourish the body,
increase strength, and promote beautiful hair
and skin. In Ayurvedic medicine, coconut oil
infused with herbs has been used medicinally
for almost 4,000 years as an effective treat-
ment for skin diseases caused by infestation
with parasites such as scabies and head lice.
Today, about 20 billion coconuts are grown
each year, and although the major producers
are the Philippines, India, and Indonesia, vir-
tually everywhere the coconut palm grows—
in the tropical regions of Latin America and
East Africa as well as Asia, the Pacific Islands,
and the Philippines—coconut products serve
as a dietary staple.
The importance of the coconut throughout
the tropics is exemplified by its many uses in
the Philippines, where the coconut palm is
called the “tree of life.” In these islands, vir-
tually all parts of the tree are used medicinal-
ly, including its roots, bark, leaves, and flow-
ers, as well as the husk, shell, water, and oil
provided by its fruit, the coconut.
Health Benefits Of Coconut Oil
Approximately 50 percent of the fatty acid
in coconut oil is in the form of a medium
chain (12-carbon) saturated fat called lauric
acid, a health-promoting fat whose only
other abundant source in nature is human
breast milk. In the body, lauric acid is con-
verted into a highly beneficial compound
called monolaurin, an antiviral, antibacterial,
and antiprotozoal agent that destroys a wide
variety of disease-causing organisms. Studies
have demonstrated that monolaurin elimi-
nates lipid-coated viruses such as Herpes
simplex virus-1, Haemophilus influenzae,
and measles virus. Pathogenic bacteria inacti-
vated by monolaurin include Staphylococcus
aureus, Group B gram positive Streptococcus,
and Helicobacter pylori. Not only does
monolaurin fight H. pylori—a bacteria linked
to peptic ulcers—but the bacteria, which has
become resistant to a number of antibiotic
drugs, appears to be unable to develop resist-
ance to coconut’s natural antimicrobials.
Lauric acid and its derivative monolaurin
also kill or inactivate a number of fungi,
yeast, and protozoa, including several species
of ringworm, Candida albicans, and Giardia
lamblia.
Coconut Oil Is Heart Healthy
Until the 1950s, coconut oil was common-
ly used in the U.S. food industry until it was
