soursop抗击癌症

刺果番荔枝 Soursop（Annona muricata）也被称为graviola或guanaban，提供许多营养素，包括叶酸，烟酸，硫胺，维生素C和钙，镁，钾和纤维等矿物质。

刺果番荔枝 Soursop是一种热带水果，由于其抗病毒，抗炎，抗寄生虫和抗菌特性，已被用于整体医学治疗胃部不适，咳嗽，哮喘，皮肤病，痛风，发烧等

最重要的好处可能是它的抗癌特性。最近，墨西哥Tepic理工学院的科学家发现，刺果番荔枝中的acetogenins具有强效的化学治疗活性。科学家们发现，acetogenin可以“包裹”肿瘤。

1997年发表在“药物化学杂志”上的另一项研究发现，刺果番荔枝刺槐soursop在杀死乳腺癌细胞方面的效果是化疗的200倍。

根据2015年Universa Medicina发表的另一项研究，最强的抗癌化合物来自刺槐叶。该研究表明该植物提取物可用于治疗激素敏感性乳腺癌。

2016年在MBC发表的另一项研究也表明，扑朔洛克叶的提取物可用于治疗乳腺癌。

Soursop (Annona muricata) also known as graviola or guanaban provides lots of nutrients including folate, niacin, thiamin, vitamin C and minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and fiber.

Soursop, a tropical fruit, has been used in holistic medicine to treat stomach discomfort, coughs, asthma, skin conditions, gout, fever among other things because of its antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic and antimicrobial properties.

The most important benefit may be its anticancer properties. Recently, scientists with the Tepic Institute of Technology in Mexico discovered that acetogenins in soursop have potent chemotherapeutic activities. The scientists found acetogenins can “encapsulate” tumors.

Another study published in 1997 in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry has raggedy found that soursop shows 200 times as effective as chemotherapy in killing breast cancer cells.

The strongest anticancer compounds come from the leaves of soursop, according to another study published in 2015 in Universa Medicina.  That study indicates that this plant extract can be used to treat hormone sensitive breast cancer.

Another study published in 2016 in MBC also suggests that the querulous extract of soursop leaves can be used to treat breast cancer.
