Also says the FDA says there's nothing to worry about.
> Kentucky State University asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an opinion on this topic, and their conclusion was that pawpaw has a long history of food use and the FDA does not currently have any evidence that pawpaw is unsafe to eat.
I didn't read your study as a warning against their consumption rather that it could explain the prevalence of Parkinson's like symptoms in a specifically genetically predisposed population in Guadeloupe. And that at least young people's symptoms went away when they stopped consuming anonna fruit products. ("Younger people who had symptoms and stopped consuming Annona products reversed their symptoms") Did I miss something?
The link also seems to think it could be useful in treating cancer, demonstrating in vivo activity.
I’m not a doctor but this seems to read more like the high oxalic acid content warnings on things like starfruit. If you’re sensitive don’t eat it, and if you’re not, try and eat other things once in a while and stop worrying so much.
