According to general practitioner Bui Dac Sang (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi Oriental Medicine Association), mangosteen has the scientific name Garcinia mangostana L., has an astringent taste. The part used as medicine is the peel, which is effective in treating diarrhea, dysentery, menstrual disorders, etc.

Answering the question of whether mangosteen latex is incompatible with cane sugar , physician Sang said that first of all, one must clearly understand the effects of mangosteen latex on the body.

"The latex of mangosteen, like other fruits, is not good for health. It is essentially what helps the fruit fight insects and other harmful problems... How harmful it is depends on how much we eat. Most fruit latex only causes harm to the digestive system, causing constipation, stomach pain, and stomach pain," said general practitioner Bui Dac Sang.

According to the expert, in traditional medicine there is no record that mangosteen latex is incompatible with cane sugar. In modern medicine, it is even more so. Even in European countries, they still prepare whole mangosteens to make drinks. The information that mangosteen latex combines with cane sugar and causes poisoning and death is incorrect. If there is any harm, it is due to eating too much mangosteen latex.

Physician Sang only notes that when using green mangosteen, the skin should be peeled off.

However, the expert emphasized : Eating mangosteen resin is rare in life, because most people only eat the pulp, not the peel. The pulp of green mangosteen is crispy, sweet, and non-toxic, so people can use it according to their needs. It can be used as a dessert or salad without any health problems.

Physician Sang only noted that when using green mangosteen, the skin should be peeled off. Although mangosteen skin can be prepared to make medicine. However, to become a complete medicine, it must be prepared by roasting, steaming and needs to be combined with many other ingredients... and cannot be eaten raw. Therefore, people should absolutely not eat mangosteen skin, especially green mangosteen skin because it contains a lot of resin.
