Brief Answer: It has no proven role in cancer Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for your query. Noni juice is heavily promoted as helpful in prevention and treatment of many diseases like cancer. However, there is no scientific evidence behind it. No human study has ever supported this claim. Even USFDA and American Cancer Society have refuted these claims. Hence cancer physicians cannot recommend noni juice to their patients. Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer further followup queries, if any. Regards.
