Bogus health claims

Previous versions had this paragraph:

Some studies shown Petai contain three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose - combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two servings of petai provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. According to some research, eating petai as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%.

It's bogus. the text is exactly the same as similar claims for bananas (as below). Please don't reinsert this or similar unless you have a real citation.

[Banana wonders]

Worse than durian

The stink of this bean is worse than durian. And the effects of the stink of the breath of someone who's eating/eaten it is more potent than a garbage can's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.217.64.52 (talk) 23:23, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all! The smell of durians is many order of magnitude stronger. If you put a bunch of petai (even after peeled off from the pods) in a room, you would smell it only if you are in that room. A guy in the next room will not smell it. On the contrary, if you put a durian (just one - unopened), not only the person next room, your neighbours would also know you have a durian! That's how powerful durian smell is.175.139.240.66 (talk) 01:08, 28 February 2014 (UTC)berdaulat[reply]

It is not stinky if..

It is not stinky if it is used in small number. When you cook something for example oseng-oseng tempeh, it will enrich the taste without stinks and when you've done cooking the oseng-oseng, you could take the petai and throw it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.73.61.115 (talk) 13:47, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Health benefits

There are lots! Loads of reference easily findable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.48.80.5 (talk) 08:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone source a better description of the smell?

I've updated the part that said that they smell like "natural gas", and cited a source that says that they smell like "methane".

Methane is odourless. Commercial gas suppliers add an odorizer, e.g. ethylmercaptan ("Its odor resembles that of leeks, onions, durian or cooked cabbage, but is quite distinct"). I assume that is what was referred to.

Anyway, I found an article which analysed the volatile components and helpfully classified them according to their presence in other odorous foods, and have changed the text accordingly.
