Acia berry appears on some imported product’s labeling as a result.

Acia berry will be foreign to most English speakers, its health effects have earned much attention from people all around the world. With the Brazilian accent used for pronouncing the fruit’s name, the product can be considered as a foreign fruit that may not be trusted.

With Acia berry, however, this is not the case since the wonder berry has been acclaimed as one of the best food supplements that everyone should include in their daily meals. Aside from the nutrients and antioxidants that you can get from taking Acai extracts regularly, the berry can also aid in improving the body’s metabolism rate. These benefits are solid enough to convince users to ignore the negative commotion produced by the media about the wonder berry of Brazil.

The fruit of the acai palm is not, in fact, a berry. It is a drupe. The drupe is about 25mm in diameter with a seed inside that takes up around 80% of the fruit’s volume. It looks a lot like a grape but, by virtue of the much larger seed, has a good deal less flesh on the fruit. The similarities with grapes continue: acai berries grow in large bunches of between 700 and 900 on the acai palm.

Acai berries have a high fat content and it is because of this that the berry doesn’t last long away from the tree. Acai supplements, juices and preserves are the only way to allow the goodness of the acai to travel properly; of these, the benefits of acai berry supplements are perhaps the most convenient.

The acai is a wonderful little fruit — often referred to as a berry but actually a drupe — that grows on the top of the acai palm in the Brazilian rain forest The acai grows in large bunches of between 900 and 700 berries, and is harvested by the local population. The local population know the value of acai and eat tremendous amounts of it: up to 42% of their total food intake by weight consists of acai.

Acai has a high fat content — that’s mono unsaturated fat: ‘good fat’ — and this means that it degrades very quickly one it has been picked. Getting an acai berry out of Brazil intact is a challenge in itself. To counter this problem distributors make great products like acai berry supplements. Acai supplements have the benefits, and are not only easy to transport across the world, but are also incredibly convenient for those using them once they get there.

But there is a lot of buzz about Oprah shedding some light on the Acai scene on her “best life week” special runs Jan 5. The quote below is from her website talking about her struggles, and a little about the special. For the full hour by hour schedule of events for this week visit www.oprah.com

Oprah Winfrey opens up about her recent 40-pound weight gain and reveals intimate details about her struggle to stay in shape after being diagnosed with a thyroid problem in the January issue of O, The Oprah Magazine and in a special episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show airing Monday, January 5, 2009. Both kick off Oprah’s “Best Life Week” a multiplatform, company-wide event designed to help readers, viewers, listeners and online users confront the issues in their own lives and make a commitment to wake up and unlock their own personal happiness in 2009.

The acai berry has become popular as a super food of late. It has become very popular with good reason, as really it offers benefits in terms of instant delivery of amino acids and antioxidants that beat its nearest super food rivals by an order of magnitude. The acai berry is the super super food, if you like.

While there could conceivably be some danger in consuming a lot of one particular foodstuff, this level is likely to be basically unachievable with something natural like the acai berry. The locals that harvest the acai berry in the Amazon rain forest in Brazil (where it grows on tall trees) eat a lot of acai berry. The actual figure of acai berry consumed is not known but some early reports suggest that as much as 42% of their food intake consists of raw acai berries. How is that for a very impressive figure?

Is good news, therefore, when someone like Central Coast Nutraceuticals is forced to settle with the Arizona attorney general to the tune of $1,375,000 for engaging in what were described by AG Terry Goddard as “deceptive on line advertising and sales practices”. Goddard brought the action after his office received hundreds of complaints against CCN. CCN’s settlement is tantamount to an admission of guilt, but it can only be a drop in the ocean in terms of the profits accrued as a direct result practices.

CCN are now bound to provide more information to potential customers regarding the deals they are signing up for.

The problem was that CCN were deceiving customers who signed up for their ‘free trial offer’ of Acai juice. In fact it was not just a free trial, and the customer was unknowingly signing up for a subscription. Not only did CCN charge the customer as and when they felt like it, but they were shipping additional products that had never been ordered. In fact in some cases, the Atty Gen stated, products were being sent that had been explicitly unselected during the on line ordering process.

CCN’s continued reluctance to cancel these scam subscriptions what part of the reason why Goddard went after them.

So it’s great that companies like this are being forced out of the marketplace slowly but surely. It’s not so great, however, when you consider loss of faith that incidents like this cause. Customers will be more reluctant than ever to buy online right now, even though organizations like my friend’s are completely legitimate and aboveboard. Let’s just hope the bottom of the industry doesn’t fall out just because these jokers wanted a quick buck.

Fruits (like the Acai Berry Fruit) that are exposed to strong sunlight face a tremendous amount of ultra violet light stress. This UV light triggers free radicals to form in the fruit. Fruits, such as the Acai berry, develop high levels of anthocyanins because they have very strong antioxidants properties and can quench the free radicals. Here is the interesting part – the antioxidant properties of anthocyanins are maintained even after they are eaten by another organism. This is why fruits with bright pigmentation tend to have the great ORAC values – they are loaded with anthocyanins! Yes, you guessed it – Acai berries have a tremendous concentration of anthocyanins.

The French have a diet very rich in cheese, sugar, coffee, nicotine, sugar and white flour. With this type of diet you would expect the French to have a very high rate of heart disease, however, the exact opposite is true. The ability of the French to consume a heart clogging diet and yet have a very low rate of heart disease has been labeled the French Paradox.

Researchers now believe they have the reason for the “French Paradox” – anthocyanins! The French drink a significant amount of red wine and the the red wine grape, due to its anthocyanins is what is believed to be responsible for the very low incidence of heart disease. While red wine has a good quantity of anthocyanins, the Acai berry has over 30 times the anthocyanins as red wine.
