Do I Hear Acai of Relief?
Several interesting studies are mentioned in this article from the Mother Nature Network. Take the following for example:
“A study by the University of Florida showed that antioxidants in açai extract destroyed human cancer cells. Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, said the açai extract triggered a self-destruct response in 86 percent of the leukemia cells tested.”
Remember, however that there are other ways to get these antioxidants:
“Oz confirmed to ABC that açai isn’t necessarily any better than other antioxidant-packed fruits and vegetables.“Açai is a powerful antioxidant,” Oz said. “Colorful dark foods like red wine, pomegranates, concord grapes, blueberries — they call them brain berries — are full of nutrients. Açai seems to be as good as any other [good food], not better.”
