What do the experts say about the acai berry and weight loss?  Basically, there’s not enough scientific evidence of acai’s ability to promote weight loss any more than another antioxidant-rich fruit.

Here’s what health expert Martica Heaner says about the acai berry weight loss hype:

“As far as weight loss goes, there’s no plausible mechanism that has been shown for why acai berry products might aid weight loss. Fruit can help with weight loss because it is high in fiber and nutrients and has few calories. Once fruit is turned into juice, however, it becomes another sweetened drink, often adding surplus calories to a diet that can lead to weight gain, not loss, if not monitored.

While many ask, “Is the acai berry a superfood with super benefits,” perhaps the real question is this: “Is any food a ‘super food?’”
