I eat 15 pieces of Budong malunggay pandesal every morning. The only thing that has grown is my stomach :cwm3:

Do you have that franchise in Bohol?

Do you that franchise in Bohol yet?


No never heard of it.. Sounds like a good idea though..

Apparently,it also protects the liver so I might start a new franchise.. Malunggay vodka.

You cant taste the malunggay but the green bits here and there make you think you are eating something healthy!

The “ nutritional and medicinal benefits “ claimed for Malunggay are amazing indeed :smile:!


The “ weight for weight “ claims for vitamins, nutrients and minerals are credible – and in moderation, consuming malunggay in its various forms may at least do no harm.


The “ medicinal benefits “ are harder to believe :doh ! “ Anti –cancer “ ? ( unlikely there will ever be an agent which can prevent or treat all 200+ cancer types :NoNo: ) ; “ good for diabetic patients “ ? ( “ said to balance sugar levels “ :NoNo:); “ boosts the immune system “ ? ( vague – there are many components of this system :NoNo: ); “ famous for antibacterial properties “ ? ( there are many types of good and bad bacteria :NoNo:); “ protects the liver and kidneys “ ? ( how ? :NoNo: ) …



It’s vital, in my opinion, not to believe all these claims to the extent that proven methods of prevention and treatment are avoided through ignorance ( or, sadly, because they’re unaffordable ).



I wouldn’t seriously recommend this Filipino – UK combination, but if the malunggay didn’t protect your liver, the DocAlan whisky might preserve it ! :biggrin: :-

Well investigated Alan. Some amazing claims for all sorts of things these days - I remember being wowed by Wheat-grass as the new wonder food!

More important is to look left and right before crossing the road. :smile:

I remember a few years ago, there was a Philippine TV add that claimed their pills would make you taller :icon_lol:

[grahamw48]
