Product Description

From palm trees that grow in the Amazon estuary in northern Brazil comes a fruit with high levels of health-promoting antioxidant anthocyanins (free-radical fighters). Free radicals are molecules with an unpaired electron that are constantly in search of molecules in our bodies to bond with, resulting in DNA damage and a cascade of deleterious reactions that can cause cancer and heart disease, make us sick, make us age, and make us die. Acai's antioxidants act as search-and-destroy missiles against oxidative stress caused by free radicals. With many acai products to choose from - whole fruit, juices, concentrates, and supplements - how do we know which is the most effective? Noted nutritionist and naturopathic physician Dr. Jeremy Appleton guides us through the maze to find the right acai product in the quest for optimal health.

Customer Reviews

Well documented and extremely informative!
A few months ago, I went to a "Tasting" of a juice drink called Mona Vie. Its centerpiece is the Acai berry from the Brazilian rainforest. I signed up as a "distributor" for Mona Vie (a multi-level marketing program) and started drinking the juice. I reasoned -- why not give something a try that has been touted as "the world's #1 SuperFood" on Oprah, selected as the official drink of the Boston Red Sox, and documented as the highest anti-oxidant food? Well, I discovered that it does in fact work! It definitely is for real. Mona Vie is in my book "a miracle food" and it can all be traced back to the Acai berry and, just as importantly, to the way it is processed by Mona Vie -- freeze dried soon after it is harvested and then reconstituted not with water but with the juice of 18 other nutrient rich fruits. In 3 months, I have lost 26 pounds, lowed my cholesterol by 21 points, increased my energy level enormously, and generally feel like a 40 year old (not someone 73).
Now, I'm trying to find out WHY Mona Vie works as well as it does. Jeremy Appleton is one of the world's top experts on Acai and this book explains in detail just what the berry is, and what it does. If you are interested in improving your health, I strongly suggest you get ahold of this book! (You should also take a close look at the health -- and income -- benefits of Mona Vie. It can change your life for the good in MANY ways!)
