There is evidence indicating that the fruit's extracts selectively inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells by downregulating expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in vitro and in a mouse model,[4] but the effect has not been studied in humans.
Laboratory research and evidence suggests that Graviola may be effective in treating some infections as well as some forms of cancer, but human data is lacking.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
Research carried out in the Caribbean has suggested a connection between consumption of soursop and atypical forms of Parkinson's disease due to the very high concentration of annonacin.[11][12][13][14]
According to Cancer Research UK, Annona muricata is an active principle in an unlicensed herbal remedy marketed under the brand name Triamazon.[15][16] Triamazon is not licensed for medicinal use and the sale of the product resulted in a conviction on four counts of selling unlicensed medical products, and other charges, for a vendor in the United Kingdom.[17]

Also, something learned from Frank on his Google Earth Blog was the use of Earth Bridge to connect google earth to a gps source.

We were able to pass through reefs and coral with the aid of google earth where Navionics and other charts showed nothing but reef. The ability is an absolute must when you get to Fiji where the charts are miles off and there are millions of reefs. Google Earth Image Cache - Earthbridge - GPS signal...
we call it guanabana in Colombia!
Ååååh! Soursop! Åt det så ofta jag bara kunde när jag var på Sri Lanka.

Vette tusan hur sant det var men jäklar vad gott det är!
I LOVE this fruit!!!
