A new food that has been sweeping the world as a miracle food known as the acai berry has been questioned as legit or not because of the limited research that has been done on the fruit. A recent study added credence to the acai berry as research proved that the fruit does indeed get absorbed by the body when it is either consumed as a juice or pulp.
This finding was published recently in the Journal of Agriculture and Food chemistry from a team of scientist located in texas for a company named Texas AgriLife. The finding that the acai berry absorbs in the body is important because the fruit is packed full of antioxidants which help prevent free radicals which cause cell damage.
The acai berry is marketed in the U.S. as a wonder food with a recent niche in weight loss. The study involved 12 healthy volunteers who consumed a single serving of acai juice or pulp.
Acai is low in sugar, and the flavor is described as a mixture of red wine and chocolate. Previous studies have shown the ability of the human body to absorb target antioxidants (from other produce), but no studies have been done to see if acai antioxidants are absorbed in humans.
The acai berry has found a popular spot in the consumers heart by being marketed as a superfood where it can reduce your weight all the way to the professional ranks where its been marketed as an instant energy recovery food.
acai berry fruit is only grow in the Btrazilian rain forrest from a palm tree called the acai palm-these palms can grow as high as sixty feet. The only edible part of the acai berry is the outermost layer.
Dr. Steve Talcott and his wife have been studying the acai berry since 2001 and are considered pioneers to the English speaking world. In 2004, they published the first ever english study of the acai berry pertaining to the high concentration of antioxidants that are found inside of the fruit.
The Talcotts were initially intrigued with the acai berry from other studies that it had positive effects in fighting cancer. From that information, they then decided to fid out how the fruit is actually absorbed in the body.
"Like vitamin C, the body can only absorb so much at a time," Dr. Talcott noted.
