I have come to love Soursop in the past few months. I came across this disturbing article indicating toxicity associated with this fruit. Soursop was on a list of fruits that Peat likes - perhaps it should be considered for only infrequent use and not regular consumption, any one care to share their views? Many seek an anti-cancer benefit from it, I just love the taste.
Toxicology expert raises alarm over potential neurotoxins in graviola/soursop
“I did nutrition research in Guam in the early 1980s on behalf of a legislative committee on the island over a span of three years and we found an association between chronic fruit consumption and atypical Parkinson's disease [that was] shocking. 67% of Parkinson's cases were of the atypical form, compared to less than 5% in Europe.”
"decoctions of the fruit have been shown in both in vitro and in vivo experiments to be a potentially toxic inhibitor of the mitochondrial respiratory chain."
