MANGOSTEEN: The Forbidden Fruit
Emediawire (press release) - USA
...For centuries, the natives of the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia and other countries have used the Mangosteen Fruit to maintain and restore their health....

I don't care if it has no health benefits - it tastes indescribably good and is so wonderful. I finally tasted a few while in South India a couple of years ago and finally understand what all the fuss is about. :-) Too bad that it is so tropical that we don't grow it here.
