In this article I am going to discuss real, genuine and authentic Acai Berry research. Why? Because there is an absolute avalanche of myth, misinformation and outright misrepresentation on BOTH sides of the garden fence when it comes to the benefits of this amazing fruit. Let’s take a trip together and look at some real truth about Acai fruit below.
Acai Berry and Cancer Research
In a lab setting, at the University of Florida in 2006, and published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry Acai Berry compounds were shown to trigger a “self-destruct” mechanism in up to 86% of leukemia cells subjected to the extract in a test tube environment. (Depending on the concentration, over 24 hours, anywhere from 30-86% of the cells self destructed) Does this mean that Acai cures cancer? Of course not!
Do we know how effective that same experiments would have been in a human body instead? No, we don’t! But does it show great promise, enthusiasm and encouragement for future ( and currently ongoing) studies? You better believe it does!
Acai Berry and Antioxidant Research
Yes, acai fruit is off the charts in many anti-oxidant and free radical fighting categories. Some say it has 10-30 TIMES the power of red wine, pomegranate juice, dark cherries, kale and other known super foods. But it also have 50-70 yet undiscovered compounds which many researchers also believe are part and parcel of it’s immense antioxidant power.
Will you never get sick again after having a glass of Acai Berry juice? Absolutely not! But do we know more and more about the value of natures indigenous antioxidants in our daily diets each and every day? You better believe we do!
