Dr. Schauss discovery of a previously little known palm fruits remarkable antioxidant activity, led to publication in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that confirmed it had the highest peroxyl radical scavenging activity of any food in the world. Since his discovery numerous authors have referred to it as a *super food.* In this book, the author details the pathway to discovery and recounts the findings of numerous laboratories that collaborated in studying this fruit, now known worldwide as Acai.
The impact of the authors discovery has led to government protection of millions of acres of palm trees in the delicate rain forest of Amazonia. Today over 400,000 liters of acai is consumed a day by nearly 1.2 million inhabitants that live in the floodplains of the Amazon River near Belem, owing to the growing body of information about its nutritional content and antioxidant activity. In addition, it has become a major export food of Brazil and resulted in one of the fastest growing network marketing companies in the world. However, not all acai products are the same; many contain a fraction of the antioxidant activity of a proprietary freeze-dried acai that has been the subject of extensive research by numerous scientists and laboratories.

Ratings & Comments(Average:
) - Acai study provides great informationThis short book provides exactly what is needed in the midst of all the hype surrounding the supposed benefits of the acai beerry. Technical, scientific data presented in an interesting an easily-readable format. Scientific conclusion is that acai is a truly extraordinary superfood.
- 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. 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! 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. Dr. Schauss is the world's top expert 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!
- Acai berryGreat little book. I have to give it 5 stars.
You can hear Dr. A. Schauss on this website and learn more about Acai berry (super food) mixed with 18 other fruits:

- Good things come in small packages!A great book for anyone interested in reading more about this amazing little fruit. Well researched and well presented; the only thing better is getting to hear Dr Schauss present in person!
I highly recommend this book!
- The little miracle in the AmazonI've seen Dr. Schauss speak, as well as read this book. If you want to learn more about the Acai berry than just the anecdotal evidence presented by many, this is the book for you. Dr. Schauss presents hard facts based on real science that is hard to ignore. This is a must read for those in a certain MLM as well.
