Healthy Rainforest Facts:
- At least 80% of the developed world's diet originated in the tropical rainforest. Its gifts to the world include 3000 fruits like avocados, coconuts, figs, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, bananas, guava, pineapples, and mangoes. Not to mention acai, the antioxidant "super fruit."
- 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, yet less than 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources.
- Of the 3000 plants the U.S. National Cancer Institute has identified as active against cancer cells, 70% are found in the rainforest.
- 25% of the active ingredients in today's cancer-fighting drugs come from organisms found only in the rainforest.
