With all due respect to Pandora's Pantry, would I be able to walk into my supermarket and find camu or maqui? And what is a powergrape? I must come to RD defense and say that although you seem knowledgeable with regard to variety of healthy fruit, at least I know that the fruit on this list is familiar, easy to find and readily available to me.

this list is a joke...what about maqui and what about powergrape, and what about muscadine, and what about mulberry...this list is bogus..what about camu ..the list goes on and on..and..well I don't think the research is well developed...especially for Readers Digest! Shame on You!

Are they all fruits found in America.? Then why do so many people in America have cancer? I am sure there are tropical fruits as well. Could you explore that for us? Thank you
