“Research has indicated, albeit ´in vitro´, that several of the active ingredients (Annonaceous acetogenins) kill malignant cells of 12 different types of cancer including breast, ovarian, colon, prostate, liver, lung, pancreatic and lymphoma.
Originally listed by the National Cancer Institute in the USA in 1976, it was not until 1995 that work gained any momentum. Recently this has confirmed that extracts from Graviola leaves (daun sirsak) killed cancer cells ´among six human-cell lines´ and were especially effective against prostate and pancreatic cancers. Another study showed their effect against lung cancer.
