Clinical Evidence Has Shown Acai Berry Absorbs in the Body
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 recently published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry by a group of scientist from Texas AgriLife. The absorption in the human body by the acai fruit berry is an important finding as the acai berry is known to contain high amounts of antioxidants that are thought to fight and prevent damaging free radicals to the body.
The scientist performed this research by taking 12 healthy people by providing them one daily serving of either acai jusice or the acai berry pulp. The acai berry is a pupular food in the U.S. that is being touted as a miricale food.
Studies indicate that the body does in fact absorb antioxidants from other foods however, this is the first study done specifically on the acai berry where it shows antioxidant absorbtion. Acai berry i has a taste that is descibed by many as a combination of chocalate and red wine.
Sales of acai products have increased dramatically in the U.S. where it has been touted as a metabolism booster, weight reducer and athletic enhancer.
The acai berry fruit can only grow in the Amazonian Rainforests of South America-The acai palm is the tree that bears these precious fruits when a single palm can grow as high as sixty feet. The fruit looks similiar to that of a blueberry however, the only edible part of ther fruit is the outer 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.
Studies showed the berrys activity against cancer cells. With that infrmation, the team then decided to find out whether those elements were actually being absorbed into the human body or being eliminated unused as waste.
"Like vitamin C, the body can only absorb so much at a time," Dr. Talcott noted. - 20759
