  1. i agree that manggis is a really good fruit. infact, i think all tropical fruits are good. but did you know that there this company that makes mangosteen juice and sells it MLM style. i think it's called xanga or something and it's bloody expensive. i dislike that there are people exploiting it like this. my take on it? just eat real mangosteens!
