Fighting Disease With Candy

 

Author: Rick Young
One of the most-often-heard buzz words about health today is "antioxidant."

As the name implies, antioxidants counteract the damaging, but normal, effects of wear and tear in our bodies. Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins, minerals and compounds) as well as enzymes, the small proteins in the body that assist in chemical reactions. They are believed to play a role in preventing the development of such chronic conditions as cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, and cataracts.

A recently discovered source of antioxidants is the Noni fruit from South Asia. Used for ages as a natural supplement, Noni - also known as Indian Mulberry - is now becoming a mainstay in the diets of many health-conscious Americans.

Is Noni rich in antioxidants? Yes. The University of Illinois is studying this recent import to determine just how many antioxidants Noni contains and what effects they have on the body. Preliminary results are promising.

Noni also is being tested by the University of Hawaii as a possible treatment for cancer. The Noni fruit is opening a lot of doors in today's medicine.

While you'll find Noni in a variety of supplements on the market, one Dallas-based company has adopted a unique approach to adding Noni to your diet: a raspberry-flavored candy.

"Noni has a lot of what we need; candy is what we want,"

said Charles Townsend, chief executive officer of Mosaic Nutraceuticals. "We put the need and the want together in a soft candy chew full of Noni."
