How Acai Berry Products Are Being Linked to Cancer Prevention

Monday, February 1, 2010 ·

Acai berry products have emerged as one of the world's super foods in recent years. This is because acai berry research has shown great promise in the fruit's ability to limit or prevent a number of health ailments. In fact, studies have shown that drinking acai berry juice may help destroy cancer cells.

Recent acai berry research tested the powerful antioxidants found in acai berry juice. The studies determined that these antioxidants actually destroyed cultured human cancer cells. In the study an astounding 86 percent of the cancer cells tested self-destructed when the antioxidants were introduced. This study gives credence to the idea that acai berry juice is part of a healthy diet and most importantly that it may prevent and fight cancer.

The level of antioxidants in acai berry products is higher than any other edible berry. It also has more antioxidants than red wine, green tea and pomegranate. This is significant because of the role antioxidants play in limiting or preventing a number of health ailments. You see, antioxidants act as free radical scavengers that limit or prevent the damage caused by both naturally and unnaturally occurring free radicals.

Acai berry products may be new to the western world, but they have been used in Brazilian culture for some time. Brazilians have long used this fruit to treat skin conditions and digestive disorders. However, recent research reveals that the fruit may promote weight loss, cardiovascular health and an over all sense of wellness. Used in moderation this fruit can truly enhance an already balanced diet.
