According to a news release published on January 12, 2006 in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a study performed by the University of Florida showed that extracts from the açai berry triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

Quoting the news release, Talcott says, “We are encouraged by the findings, however compounds that show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are most likely to have beneficial effects in our bodies.”

To date, only basic research has been done on açai berries.  As of 2006, 50 to 75 percent of the compounds in this incredible fruit remained a mystery and unidentified.

“One reason,” says Talcott, “so little is known about açai berries is that they’re perishable and are traditionally used immediately after picking…researchers in many parts of the world have had little to no opportunity to study them.”

Historically, for generations Brazilians have used the açai berry to:

• boost energy levels;
• minimize inflammation processes in the body;
• improve circulation;
• aid in digestive processes;
• enhance visual acuity;
• normalize cholesterol levels;
• improve mental clarity;
• improve sound sleep;
• assist in the fight against prostate enlargement;
• act as a detoxifier;
• increase metabolism;
• boost the immune system;
• enhance sexual performance;
• prevent cancer;
• slow down the aging process;
• lessen the symptoms of diabetes;
• manage weight.

When researchers took note of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon region, they were amazed to find the absence of many of the diseases and health ailments that those of us in the industrialized world face every day. According to a December 1, 2008 edition of Time Magazine, 67 percent of North Americans are overweight enough to fall into the category of “obese”.  27 percent of North Americans struggle with high blood pressure. 96 percent of North Americans may not remember when they ate their last salad, and most of us don’t eat our vegetables.  40 percent of North Americans live a lifestyle so sedate that they receive no exercise at all.  For the first time in modern history, the life span of American children will be shorter than the lifespan of their parents.

“Acai berries are already considered one of the richest fruit sources of antioxidants,” according to Talcott. “This study was an important step toward learning what people may gain from using beverages, dietary supplements or other products made with the (açai) berries.”

The acai berry weight loss programs existing today stem from this incredible gift from nature, the acai berry.  Claims of the dramatic impact this fruit is having on the lives of people continue to come in faster than researchers can examine the fruit itself.
