The TRUTH about Acai Berry

Want to lose weight? The Acai Berry is your answer!
Acai (ah-sigh-EE), is a fruit of the palm berry plant, and has been reported to contain more antioxidants than red wine, while boasting 10 times the antioxidant benefits of grapes and 2x that of blueberries and has a beguiling berry-like flavor and a strong chocolate overtone.

Acai berry is a POWERFUL antioxidant, and many television shows, including Oprah, have praised it for the natural remedy it offers, including but certainly not limited to, weight loss.

Acai has been used for many generations by the natives of Brazil. Acai is a Brazilian berry original from the Amazon Region that is considered to be one of nature's most complete and healthy foods. Acai berries are produced by a palm tree known scientifically as Euterpe oleracea, common in floodplain areas of the Amazon River. Acai only grows in the Amazon Rainforest and is very perishable.

Those Who Have Taken Acai Reported the Following Additional Health Benefits:

In a study of three populations in the Amazon region of Brazil, Aa palm was described as the most important plant species of the region. Acai makes up a major component of diet (up to 42% of the total food intake by weight) and is economically valuable in the region .

Beverages containing Aa are more popular than milk in the southern hemisphere. The juice and pulp of Aa fruits (Euterpe oleracea) are frequently used in various juice blends, smoothies, sodas, and other beverages. Take a trip to your favorite smoothie place and you might find Aa as one of the add-in ingredients available to you. In northern Brazil, Aa (or jussara, which is one of the fruit's common folk names) is traditionally served in gourds called "cuias" with tapioca and, depending on the local preference, can be consumed either salty or sweet (sugar, rapadura and honey are known to be used in the mix). Several companies now manufacture juices, health drinks, yogurts, and sorbets made from Acai berries, often in combination with other fruits.

As the high fat content of Aa indicates it would deteriorate rapidly after harvest, its raw material is generally available outside the immediate growing region only as juice or fruit pulp that has been frozen or processed as a pulp powder or freeze-dried powder.

NBC's Today did a feature story on Aa in 2004, and more recently researchers at the University of Florida tested the attributes of Aa to discover it actually destroyed cultured leukemia cells. Acai's high vitamin C content also relieves symptoms of asthma according to the University of Florida News.
Aa has been around for ages, and current research indicates no known side effects to taking Aa in any form.

The Bottom Line on Acai is that while the claims made about Acai often might seem too good to be true, this is quite possibly the magic bullet to problems that ail us all!
