Abstract

Graviola (soursop) is promoted as an alternative cancer treatment. There is not enough reliable evidence that graviola works as a treatment for cancer.

  • Graviola is the fruit from trees in the rain forests.

  • Claims that graviola can treat cancer are not backed up by research.

  • It can cause nerve damage leading to symptoms that are similar to Parkinson's disease
