Recently across the internet and mainstream television all the rave has been about this miraculous little berry found in the tropical rainforest. Like all new trendy diet products we immediately set out to debunk the product and prove it false. Throughout this report we will look at every offer, information sheet, and product we can find and attempt to sort what is false and what is real. If at anytime you find that we have missed information please shoot us a message and we will look into it.
Historically, Brazilians have used acai berries to treat digestive disorders and skin conditions, he said. Current marketing efforts by retail merchants and Internet businesses suggest acai products can help consumers lose weight, lower cholesterol and gain energy.
We’ve broke this down into several sections. First we will look at what products claim to do. Second we will look at what sciences have found with the acai berry and what is possible. Third we will look at real diet plans that include acai berry as part of their regiment.
Acai berry products generally claim to be 100% Natural, body cleanser, anti-oxidants similar to those found in green tea, an energy supplement and fat burner. Our team looked for a chart to represent just how potent the acai berry really is. We found the following. The Acai berry has nearly twice the amount of antioxidants as pomegranate. Its commonly known that fruits have more anti-oxidants then vegetables. The characteristics of anti oxidants can help reduce the number of reactions caused by oxidation. Even though oxidation reactions are part of life, they can also cause damage. This is why animals and plants have complex systems of many types of antioxidants. These include Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.

While researching the acai berry we found that in January of 2006 the University of Florida found a brazilian berry that destroyed cultured human cancer cells.
"Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with decreased risk for many diseases, including heart disease and cancer," said Joshua Bomser, University of Florida researcher who researches the effects of diet on chronic diseases. "Getting at least five servings a day of these items is still a good recommendation for promoting optimal health."

Acai Burn, the order form is at the very bottom of the page. Lots of available information here. Company located in Ontario, California. There is also a video that tells all about the product.
As part of a good review, we approached this question from the standpoint of "everything you eat has side effects", so here is what we found. The only known side effect is that it some frequent users of acai berry supplements have a “decreased appetite.” This has been attributed mostly because the acai berry is extremely high in fiber and it includes many different minerals, vitamins and acids.
It should be noted that of the hundreds of resources we reviewed in writing this article the majority of them indicated there were "no side effects".
What is so good about antioxidants?
With the high density of anti oxidants found in acai berry this is extremely beneficial to us. The more antioxidants we consume the less oxidation reactions occur. This can cause a younger looking skin, healthier blood flow, increased metabolism, improved immune system, improved digestive system and more. The ripple effect of consuming high amounts of antioxidants affects nearly every system in the body.
Our body cells use oxygen. When they use this oxygen it has by products that cause oxidative damage. These health problems include heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes, cancer are all contributed by oxidative damage. Anti oxidants also enhance the immune system and therefore they also lower the risk of cancer and infection.
