Much of the recent literature related to graviola has been inspired by recent research into its ability to fight cancer. The Graviola fruit is rich in Acetogenins, which are unique to this plant family. Acetogenins appear to have anti-tumor effects in animal studies. According to its advocates, graviola extract has been effective against several types of cancer including breast and liver cancer cells though up to now there has been no human research to confirm preliminary studies.

However, laboratory and animal tests have shown a lot of early promise and seem to support its traditional use in the treatment of cancer. Research into the anti-cancer potential of graviola has demonstrated several potentially worthwhile findings.

It must be noted that no trials have ever been conducted on humans and the FDA have not approved its use as a cancer treatment. It has the ability to target and destroy malignant cancer cells in 12 different types of cancer.

Certain of its compounds were many times more powerful in slowing cancer cell growth than the commonly used chemotherapy drug; Adriamycin. Graviola extract is selective. It only kills cancer cells and leaves healthy cells unharmed. More clinical research is certainly necessary to confirm these claims and we can only hope that it will happen in the future.

Graviola has been used for centuries in South America to regulate blood sugar levels in diabetic patients and there is some preliminary modern research that suggests it might well be effective. Certain ingredients in graviola which include phytochemicals might be able to prevent spikes in blood glucose and help to regulate glucose levels.

In one study published in 2008, diabetic rats given graviola for a two week period demonstrated near normal blood sugar levels by the end of the trial without being treated with any other diabetes medication. (4)

Another study showed that diabetic rats fed with graviola also exhibited higher antioxidant levels in the blood as well as healthier livers and a reduced level of unhealthy blood fats. (5)
