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.
