Sweet-tasting, But Smelly, Fruit From Asia Said To Have Many Health Benefits

August 8, 2009: 11:11 AM EST
A fruit from Southeast Asia that tastes sweet but smells awful apparently offers an array of health benefits, according to an article in Natural News. Citing nutritionists and experts, the author says the obscure fruit durian is loaded with antioxidants, amino acids and vitamins. It supposedly stimulates the sexual appetite, cures skin disease, lowers cholesterol, cures jaundice, and gets rid of yeast infections. All of which sounds great if you can get past its main liability: a pungent odor that is so offensive that hotels in Asia bar guests from bringing the fruit to their rooms.
