Acai Berry & Antioxidants


What is all the "Buzz" about the antioxidant and health properties of Acai Berries?

Is the Acai Berry by itself, as it is so often advertised, the panacea for all our ills and the illustrious fountain of youth? Will it cure everything from Cancer to the Common Cold?

Or, Is the Acai Berry just another health food fad like the Grapefruit Diet, the Vinegar Diet or Euell Gibbons Pine trees?

Or better yet, is it just another useful tool in the arsenal of available "God given" fruits, vegetables and natural nutrients for a healthy balanced diet? Or is it part of an all around diet that keeps us strong and healthy and truly aids our bodies own defences in the fight against all things that cause us to be unwell. I believe that the Fad of  the Acai Berry will come and go but... like Vitamin C, Aloe Vera, Chocolate :), Cranberry, and green Tea, it will take its proper place as a useful and very helpful supplement for our bodies. Currently because so many companies are capitalizing on the weight loss angle of this fruit it is very hard to get unbiased or truly medical views about the true benefits of this juice. "No one" says anything bad about it (Of course, because afterall it is a fruit) but the jury is still out about just how much it really does. So...we know that it is good for you and that it has a high antioxidant ORAC score but... is it good enough to base a whole health supplement just on this berry alone? I say no, and so does GBG. GBG does incorporate this wonderful fruit, as well as others, into its 10 in one formula, but does not base the formula's entire health success on it. This formula is based on balance! A balance of the same Vitamins and Minerals we have all been taking and needing for years, mixed with traditional and new, high antioxidant fruit juices and nutrients; formulated to help us live our daily lives, better. What is so unique about GBG?  It makes all these neccessary ingredients tasty and easy to take. That my friends is my favorite part. (Of course my "favorite" ice Cream is Thrifty's Apricot Mango Sherbet and the taste of GBG's Liquid Vitamin Supplement reminds me of that a bit; fruity and refreshing)

Here are the only "unbiased" medical links I could easily find about the Acai Berry:
