oprah.com and the Oprah Winfrey Show ranked Açai the #1 super-food for "Age-defying beauty". The Acai Berry is No.1 on Oprah Winfrey Site’s Top Ten List of “Superfoods”
Alternative Medicine February, 2006: "The publication of a new study… tested the effect of pure açai juice - stripped of any lipids (EFAs) and cellulose material — on HL-60 human leukemia cells in vitro. ... They found that the extracts "reduce cell proliferation from 56-86 percent," most likely by damaging the cells enough to cause them to self-destruct (apoptosis). This anticancer activity compares favorably with that of the chemotherapy drug, camptotechin."
Time Magazine, February 2005 - "Make time for Açai…with twice the antioxidants of blueberries."
The Washington Post January 4, 2006: "It appears the next super-good-for-you fruit will be the Brazilian açaí."
Food Business Review Online, Dec. 2005: "Açai is nearing breakout status."
The Gourmet Retailer: "Açai... this potent fruit is known to pack more antioxidants than blueberries or pomegranates!"
Newsweek, July 2007: "With more antioxidants than red wine, blueberries and even pomegranates, the açaí berry is being hailed as the new "it" super food."
