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，它是在亚洲很受欢迎的水果之一。一项研究结果已提出：只有在山竹果里才发现一种叫倒捻子素的抗氧化剂，它对白血病细胞有杀伤作用，对治疗白血病有一定效果。当然，更多的研究有待进行，因为据说山竹果还有消炎、抗菌、防腐、消毒的特性。
