This is my truth

Durian Durian

I received a somewhat pedestrian unsolicited commercial email from Danielle Cwalinski today, advising me of the health benefits of ONE exotic fruit. And she doesn't mean Joe Exotic…BA-DA-BOOM-TSCH!

You have to see this... A recent shocking study done by a group of prominent scientists in United Kingdom revealed ONE exotic fruit that can obliterate even the deepest stored body fat in your body. Plus, multiple studies have shown that it suppresses intense food cravings, lowers cholesterol and blood sugar... and flick a "master switch" that STOPS fat production. Try to guess what this exotic fruit is: 1. Durian 2. Cherimoya 3. Garcinia 4. Starfruit 5. Mangosteen Even if you're a "health nut", I doubt what you think is right. The answer is counter-intuitive. If you guess right, you could easily burn off stubborn body fat - without doing any extra exercise, fad diets, or giving up your favorite foods. Guess wrong, you could spend the rest of your life all within a body saturated by disgusting, unhealthy body fat. Go here to see if you're right and put your knowledge to the test [link removed] P.S.

The strange thing is that both of those links are one and the same, even though the text suggests otherwise!

How could that be? Could it mean that Danielle isn't being perfectly straight with me? I was under the impression that she was only interested in my good health; even if it is at the expense of my self-esteem.

Describing my body as saturated by disgusting, unhealthy body fat may be fair comment, but it's still harsh. (sad)


I'd understood that durian was the most offensively smelly fruit known—the Singaporean metro even forbids passengers from eating it on board—so it's been on my bucket list for years. I had the opportunity to try it when I was last in Singapore. It's bigged-up so much…and, yet, it's such a let-down. It smells and tastes like fried onions, to me at least, but with a creamy texture. The combination is neither pleasant nor offensive, although the effects upon the alimentary canal are, ahem, unfortunate. I'm glad that I've tried it, but I don't feel the need to repeat the experience, irrespective of any magical fat-burning characteristics it might possess.

Durian gets its own special mention on the Singapore metro.
