Acai Berry In The Media


Acai In The Media:  The Growing Interest In Acai Berry

Almost from the minute the health benefits of this amazing berry became known, a growing media frenzy began to feature the acai berry in news story after news story.  The incredible benefits that can be found with the berry sparked an interest among consumers and the media sought to give them what they wanted which was more information on this berry.

The first news stories started to appear on all the major television networks and national magazines.  These news stories fueled an explosion on the Internet of businesses scrambling to get products to an eager consumer market.  In the beginning the details of the amazing benefits of acai berry were told to a huge television audience on the Oprah Winfrey show.  What was described on the Oprah Winfrey Show and the show’s website was a superfood that tasted like a mix of berries and chocolate.  Too good to resist for most dieters.

Research And Studies

Savvy consumers who have seen this kind of hysteria before were waiting for more hard evidence to come in about the health benefits of acai berry.  As more and more news reports started to come in, with detailed studies on the health benefits of acai berry, it became clear that this is, indeed, a remarkable fruit.

The University of Florida was one of the first to begin the investigation of the health benefits of acai berry.  In their study they found that the berry triggered leukemia cells to self destruct in eighty six percent of the cells that were tested with the berry.  While they do not wish to convey the message that acai berry can prevent leukemia, they are reporting some very interesting results that can demonstrate what the fruit is capable of when it is taken in supplements, juices and other products.  This is a first step toward understanding what can be gained from including this fruit in your diet.

Now that there are products available to test, it is clear that we should be seeing even more results of these important studies.  In the past, the acai berry was not tested because it was so perishable.  Now that there are products on the market that are freeze drying the berry and making it available for testing, it will become more and more apparent what acai berry can bring in terms of health benefits.

Acai Berry And The Internet

The Internet is, perhaps, the largest source of information regarding the acai berry.  Everywhere you look there are websites and products that include acai berry.  As more and more information is being revealed about the acai berry, the Internet is primed to be a great source of these studies.

There seems to be no end in sight to the interest in this little purple berry as more people are looking for ways to combat the signs of aging, live healthier lives and lose weight.  The acai berry is in a perfect position to accommodate all of these growing markets.
