...case of XanGo, "no published clinical trials [show] evidence that either the fruit or its juice is an effective treatment for arthritis, cancer or any other disorder in humans," writes Dr. Brent Bauer, the Mayo Clinic's alternative-medicine specialist. Mangosteens contain antioxidants called xanthones that have been shown to stop certain bacteria and fungi in lab tests. Yet independent-distributor sites claim the juice helps everything from Alzheimer's disease to kidney stones. XanGo's Morton concedes that wild claims are being made.

One such federally funded abstinence-only sexual education program teaches that condoms fail 14 percent of the time, contrasted to the three percent accepted by the wider medical community and cited by medical journals, according to Kay.

...small-town manufacturers. Mallo Cups, for example, are still made by Boyer Candy in Altoona, Pa., and Chick-o-Sticks are in their 52nd year of production by Atkinson Candy in Lufkin, Texas. Some brands, like Fizzies, have changed their recipes, while other candies, like Jujubes and Sugar Daddys, contain the same ingredients that first enthralled the taste buds of the youngsters who grew up watching Howdy Doody and The Lone Ranger...
