Australian Women's Health Magazine, March 2008, p24:

"Doctor Pressure: Buy an energy drink and you'll get bang for your buck - in a bad way. Researchers at Henry Ford Hospital, US, say high-taurine and caffeine soft drinks increase heart rate and blood pressure - dangerous for those with high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease. Fifteen healthy volunteers drank two cans daily for a week. The drinks contained 80mg of caffeine and 1000mg of taurine. Heart rates rose, on average, by eight per cent on the first day and 11 per cent on the seventh day, while blood pressure rose about 8 per cent over the week. But "the increase in blood pressure would have no greater effect than walking up a flight of stairs," says the American Beverage Association."

Detox your body the natural way - and feel the power of the dragon.

Australian Diabetic Living Magazine, Issue 3, 2006, p10:

"Dragon delicious: An exotic fruit which may benefit those with type 2 diabetes is the pitaya, or dragonfruit. Part of the cactus family, the soluble fibres of its flesh helps lower blood glucose and cholesterol levels, and the red version is one of the few fruits to contain betacyanins. These are powerful antioxidants which protect us against a range of health issues. There is also a white variant of the fruit. Tasting not unlike kiwifruit, the pitaya is filling but not fattening at 202kg per 100g. Grown near Cairns, dragonfruit is available all year round."

"Tutti-frutti: Looking for a funky new way to stay slim? Try dragonfruit. Tasting like a mix of lychee and kiwifruit, this fruit is high in antioxidants and low in kilojoules. Dragonfruit is also high in betacyanins, which help regulate blood sugar for those with diabetes, its distributors claim."
