15- Soursop Has Anticancer Properties
There’s more to this exotic fruit than just its delicious taste. Recent studies have suggested that soursop may have anti-cancer properties due to the chemicals it contains.
The active components of soursop have been studied and found to contain acerogenins which are compounds known to selectively target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. While more research needs to be done on the effects of these compounds on humans, early results suggest that they could potentially reduce tumor growth and cell proliferation in certain types of cancer such as breast and prostate cancer.
