Soursop: """ annona muricata tree selectively inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells.""" I have been shocked to see such statements in certain ads for so called neutriceuticaks. The fruit common to mexico and guam is rich in neurotoxic agents like isoquinolones which have been known to cause parkinson's like symptoms. None have proven validity as a chemotherapeutic agent imho.

No: The fact that this known neurotoxin is peddled by the supplement industry shows how special interests write our laws. So far all the experiments have been done in tissue cultures; that there's an effect is no surprise giving that the plant contains cell poisons. The obviously false claims (10000 times stronger than chemo) are targeted at unfortunate, desperate people.
