The vitamin C page shows the milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams. It lists the Billy Goat plum as 3150mg/100g and the Camu Camu as 2800mg/100g. The Billy Goat plum only has an eighth more vitamin C than the Camu Camu by percentage (1.125 times the amount of vitamin C of a Camu Camu). This is clearly not "almost twice" the amount of vitamin C! 206.116.28.142 03:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe that this statement is referring to another study, in which the concentration of ascorbic acid was measured at around 5,000mg/100g of fruit. I'll have to see if I can verify the reference. Thefamouseccles 21:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] " tens of thousands of years" right

"The fruits, now commonly known as Kakadu plums, have been used as bush tucker by the Australian Aborigines for tens of thousands of years."

There is no way this can be proven, and is definitely not sourced.
