Naresuan University unveils cancer-beating mango

By The Nation

 

 

Researchers at Phitsanulok-based Naresuan University have developed a mango that can reduce the risk of contracting some cancers.

They've also devised a roll-on application for women that's both a deodorant and removes armpit hair.

 

The breakthroughs unveiled this week were financed by the Thailand Research Fund under the Royal Golden Jubilee PhD Programme. 

 

Faculty of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment lecturer Assistant Professor Dr Peerasak Chaiprasart explained that the improved Mahachanok mango is enhanced with the anti-oxidants anthocyanin and carotenoid.

 

Carotenoid, found in yellow, orange and red fruits and vegetables, strengthens the immune system and reduces the risk of various cancers, heart disease, cataracts and age-related macular degeneration in the retina of the eye.

 

Anthocyanin, which yields red, purple and blue pigments, slows cell degeneration and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke and kills pathogenic micro-organisms in the gastrointestinal system.

 

Peerasak said the Mahachanok mango (Mangifera indica) -- a hybrid of Thai Nang Klang Wan mangoes and Australian Sunset mangoes -- has red-purple or yellow-red skin when ripe. 

 

The researchers found that introducing methyl jasmonate to pre-harvest mangoes boosted their levels of Vitamin C, glucose, fructose, sucrose and carotenoid. 

 

Methyl jasmonate plus ethephon, both of which are safe and leave no residues, increased the carotenoid level by 50 per cent.

 

Methyl jasmonate in combination with specific amounts of light created a redder skin on mangoes 90 days after blooming, boosting the level of anthocyanin.

 

Peerasak said the university would continue working on the project and expected that farmers will be able to cultivate Mahachanok mangoes even beyond the usual April-June growing season, and produce beautiful red and healthy fruit that's in high demand.

 

The hair-reducing roll-on using Waan-Ma-Haa-Mek (Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb) was developed in the university's Herb Tech research centre.

 

Associate Professor Kornkanok Ingkaninant said her team initially discovered that Waan-Ma-Haa-Mek extract could be used to reduce hair loss in males. They secured a patent and passed the technology on to Siam Nawat Co last year. 

 

Their new Waan-Ma-Haa-Mek product is a hair-reducing roll-on for women, which Kornkanok said produced significant results among 30 volunteers during four weeks of clinical testing.

So it looks like the market price of these mangoes is about to rise. A good promo for the University's Herb Tech Research Centre and it's product Waan-Ma-Haa-Mek. An all-in-one cancer reducing roll-on deodorant and unwanted hair remover. The girls will go crazy over this.

The deodorant will need a "whitening" agent or it wont be a success Thai girls dont like to have "dark" armpits...the unlucky ones who do can never raise their hands to wave at anyone...ever. [emoji1]

Eating a healthy diet of fresh fruit and veg will reduce your chances of getting cancer. Same as sleeping well, exercising, reducing stress, being in a healthy environment, etc. 

 

Most people can live a long and healthy life if they have a healthy lifestyle. Some people are unlucky. Many people don't live healthy lifestyles and complain how life is unfair that their health is affected. Our bodies and minds are like any other machine. Take care of them and the odds are in your favour. It's free health insurance. 

So they have increased the fructose, glucose, and sucrose content which feeds cancer cells and diabetes and then counteract it with more anthocyanin. Sounds like a net wash to me.

When even the "organic vegetables" in the super markets around LOS in a recent sample test,  showed to be over safe levels for human consumption, I doubt that these mangos will reduce the risk of contracting cancer

unfortunately for some its genitics

Here we go again...

How much does one cost?

 

I think it sounds cool and worth a try.  Might even be the most delicious mango you've ever had.  Hope it's not a 1,000 baht fruit.

But how does the mango taste ?  Does it taste like medicine or a juicy mango ?

Yep, that's because Thai people are different to western people. 

Peerasak said the Mahachanok mango (Mangifera indica) -- a hybrid of Thai Nang Klang Wan mangoes and Australian Sunset mangoes -- has red-purple or yellow-red skin when ripe. 

 

No doubt the generous Thai's will be offering a healthy commission to the Australians for their invaluable contribution.
