The amazing acai berry- The scientific community is all abuzz!

The acai berry (pronounced “ah-sigh-ee”) has doctors, scientists, nutritionists and anti-aging experts sitting on the edge of their seats with enthusiasm with this recently discovered Amazon rain forest fruit in found in Brazil. Natives of the region have been using this small grape-sized berry for hundreds of years.

Here’s what’s been learned in recent years:

1. About 10% of the berry is the valuable pulp. The remaining 90% is the seed or pit and is discarded. From the pulp is made a puree that gets mixed in acai drinks, or dried into powder and placed in capsules. It’s believed the capsules have the higher density of acai benefits.

2. The amount of antioxidant benefit far exceeds that of conventional high-antioxidant” supplements. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method used by the USDA of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods. Few products compare to the acai berry.

3. Diet and Weight Loss- When used in combination with proper nutrition and exercise, there is much evidence the acai berry accelerates weight loss faster than most other supplements tested.

4. Metabolism Boosted- The Omega fatty acids, the same fats found in fish oil, olive oil and flaxseed, facilitate a kick-start to metabolism. Most dieters find they “plateau” at a given weight and cannot improve. Often times the acai berry helps them push through to greater results.

5. Appetite is suppressed and digestion improves- The generous amount of fiber helps to make the user feel fuller and cleanses your system of the fatty foods.

6. Builds muscle tone- These amino acids, combined with the fatty acids in the acai berry allow your body to burn fat more efficiently and help your muscles grow.

7. Increased energy and stamina means translates into sustained weight loss and nutritional improvements.

In a recent study by the University of Florida and published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, scientists found that extracts from acai berries berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested. Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences stated “Acai berries are already considered one of the richest fruit sources of antioxidants,” Talcott said. “This study was an important step toward learning what people may gain from using beverages, dietary supplements or other products made with the berries.”

He cautioned that the study, funded by UF sources, was not intended to show whether compounds found in acai berries could prevent leukemia in people. “This was only a cell-culture model and we don’t want to give anyone false hope,” Talcott said. “We are encouraged by the findings, however. Compounds that show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are most likely to have beneficial effects in our bodies.”
