The drink is called XanGo, and Call 4 Action reporter Aaron Saykin said its maker is in hot water with the Food and Drug Administration.
According to the FDA, brochures aimed at recruiting distributors for the product are claiming it can prevent — and in some cases cure — all sorts of diseases and infections.
Starting on Saturday, XanGo will be one of more than 150 exhibits at the Pittsburgh Women’s Show this weekend in Monroeville.
According to XanGo’s Web site, the drink — referred to as a dietary supplement — is made from the fruit of an exotic tropical mangosteen tree — which, according to the company, has all sorts of health benefits.

A Xango guy told me it was a “cure for cancer”, a very uninformed statement. I have heard the same from zealots promoting RELIV.
Cancer thrives in an acidic body and foods with antioxidant or alkalyzing properties fight cancer by supporting the body’s natural defenses. Most of the juice drinks have antioxidant qualities but no MLM product can cure cancer.
There are some good nutritional supplements sold through MLM, but cures? doubtful.
