<h1>The Acai Berry Hype Explained</h1>Author: <a title="bmfoj09" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/bmfoj09/284647.htm">bmfoj09</a> By now, most people have heard about acai berries. Acai berries have been touted as being a near miracle food.  They are claimed to do everything from fighting cancer to facilitating weight loss.  As a result of the hype, Acai berry products have become immensely popular with consumers. Because of that popularity, there is no shortage of companies that offer acai berry products.

Some people claim that acai berries have higher levels of anti-oxidants than other foods. However, there is no definitive scientific consensus on this matter. There is some research that suggest that acai berries contain higher levels of anti-oxidants than comparable foods, but there is no solid scientific evidence supporting that claim. Furthermore, other people claim that the high levels of anti-oxidants found in acai berries help to promote rapid weight loss. Hence, the reason why acai berries have become so popular with dieters. Again, however, there is no solid scientific evidence that anti-oxidants, despite their other health benefits, facilitate weight loss. In addition to having high levels of anti-oxidants, acai berries also contain high levels of fiber and monounsaturated fats ( the good kind of fat). Given their high level anti-oxidants, fiber, and healthy fats, acai berries are clearly a very healthy food to consume. The question concerning them is whether they are the miracle food that some claim them to be. The answer to that question has not been resolved.
