Excuse my German

The only really nice picture I could find was in German, most people have a good translator though so it shouldn't be a stumbling block.

You probably wonder if eating all this pineapple is good for you, are you a rat...

As quoted before, Oviedo also said, "I do know that it (pineapple) rouses the appetite. There are many people who have a disgust for feed. It restores a healthy appetite and stimulates them to endeavor to eat, restoring enjoyment." The Indians also believed in the properties of the pineapple.

Experiments with rats were done to prove these beliefs. The experiment was carried out by feeding two groups of white rats on identical balanced diets with one group having pineapples added to their diets. The results showed that the rats on the pineapple added diet grew more rapidly, gained weight more rapidly, produced larger litters, and more of their young survived.
