One especially interesting study, has been done by the University of Florida in Gainesvile, Florida. The University of Florida found that the acai berries juice triggered a self destruct response in 86% of human cancer cells. Yes, the acai berry actually killed cancer cells in a petri dish, lab test.
Stephen Talcott, Assistant Professor, and one of the researchers, says we are encouraged by the findings compounds that show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are most likely to have beneficial effects in our bodies. He adds, "We are just beginning to understand the complexity of the acai berry, its juice, and its health promoting effects."
Because of the unparalleled antioxidant levels and super nutrient content of the Acai Berry, it is not surprising that remarkable benefits are still being discovered and health promoting properties are being validated with this little purple berry.
In the Brazilian Rain Forest, its natives have been using the Acai Berry for literally hundreds and hundreds of years...giving it to their women after child birth and using it for many other health reasons, and ailments.
