Oprah has declared Acai to be the number one food giving it the prestigious title of super-food.  The benefits of the Acai berry are numerous.  The research and analysis have been done by Dr. Perricone.

This is not the first time that Oprah Winfrey is standing out for Acai. Reportedly, on August 19, 2009, Harpo, Inc., which happens to be the producers of The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Dr. Oz Show, along with Dr. Mehmet Oz, filed a lawsuit against 40 of the Internet marketers of dietary supplements which included acai berry products among others.

Dr. Mehmet Oz in an interview stated,

The companies that are using my name to hawk these products are duping the public. I do not endorse any of these products. By falsely presenting products as ‘scientifically proven’ and endorsed by well-known figures, these companies do a gross disservice to the public health and could even pose a danger to those who believe their false and unproven claims. I am taking this step in the interest of public safety. I feel compelled to stand up against these companies and their deceitful practices

The Acai Palm of Central and South America is known for producing berries that have been all the way boosting up the health as well as sustaining the dying breed of inhabitants of the Amazon region for many centuries.

The Açaí berry which is most commonly pronounced “ah sigh ee” is undoubtedly taking the world by storm and is being considered by a lot of health experts to contain the highest nutritional value of any fruit on earth and thus it is often called to be a superfruit. Açaí is mostly grown in the wilds of the Amazon and happens to be the world’s most powerful natural source of antioxidants.  The Acai berry is also featured in many drinks.  One in particular is the SAMBAZON Organic Freeze-Dried Acai Powder Drink Mix.

The Acai content of antioxidants have been counted at the University of Florida in a research that was conducted in the year 2006 after which it was sanctioned the status of “Super Fruit”. The Acai berries actually triggered a devastative self-destruct response up to an amazing count of 86% of the leukaemia cells that were cultured in test tubes all within a single day time period.

The study though have been based upon a cell-culture model, but the scientists have strong belief in the fact that the Acai compounds which show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are more likely to have beneficial effects in our bodies.

Acai pulp contains:

• A remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging, with 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine.
• A synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
• An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.

As a matter of fact Christmas and the New Year is coming around the corner fast and so you need to prepare yourself well so that you can enjoy it without having to worry and stress over your looks, health, and body. Try Acai, for a change, it won't do bad if not good.
