Is soursop vegan-compatible?

Watch for

• Leaf tea is the heavier exposure, not the fruit.The Guadeloupe research covered soursop leaf and bark infusions as well as the fruit, and acetogenins concentrate in the leaf. There is no established safe daily amount of graviola tea, and it is the format most often drunk deliberately, every day, for months
• Graviola capsules, tinctures and concentrated extracts are sold widely as a cancer treatment.No completed human trial supports that claim, graviola appears on the US Food and Drug Administration list of fake cancer cures, and regulators have repeatedly acted against sellers who market it that way. An extract also delivers a far larger and more concentrated acetogenin dose than eating the fruit does
• The large black seeds are not food and must be removed before the pulp goes anywhere near a blender.Soursop is usually eaten as juice, nectar, sorbet or a smoothie, which makes this a live risk rather than a theoretical one. Crushed Annona seed has a long history as an insecticide and lice treatment and is a severe eye irritant
• The grade row on this page is a placeholder.It is identical to rows for foods soursop has nothing in common with, so the B for histamine and the C grades for salicylate and oxalate are not measurements of soursop and should not be used to clear or convict it. Its FODMAP columns are unrated
• Concentrated soursop preparations have been reported to lower blood pressure and blood glucose.If you take medication for either, treat teas and extracts as an active substance to raise with your prescriber rather than as an ordinary fruit
