Acai Berry Hype

So what is it with this magical Acai Berry fruit?





According to webmd.com

Acai Berry provides anthocyanins and flavanoids.
Anthocyanins and flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that help defend the body against life's stressors. They also play a role in the body's cell protection system. Free radicals are harmful byproducts produced by the body. Eating a diet rich in antioxidants may interfere with aging and the disease process by neutralizing free radicals.

By lessening the destructive power of free radicals, antioxidants may help reduce the risk of some diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. For now, plenty of research supports eating a diet rich in antioxidants.
