The university cultivars are typically lower in acetogenins but should absolutely be considered.

Study of people with a link to neuroological issues from *frequent* consumption https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18816693/

Study in cultured neurons https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17634376/

Fruit pulp containing 0.1mg/g https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22130466/

This is a more recent study about annonacin and squamocin content but I dont have access to this paper https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32761515/

Most people are not consuming Annonaceae as a main or primary part of their diet, and overwhelmingly that particular culture uses the leaves and twigs as a part of traditional medicine, which absolutely exposes them to substantially higher amounts than in the fruit.

Certainly something to think about but if you want to eat a few pawpaws in your life it’s not going to destroy your nervous system. I’m getting ready to plant a bunch.
