Dear friend,
hat
do two “surfer dudes” from California, a 60 foot palm tree, and
our optimum physical and mental health all have in common? Answer ...
An incredible little fruit about the size of a small grape - that's so jam packed with vital nutrients – it's now being called the planet's ultimate “ superfood”.
Here's the incredible true story:
At the turn of the new millennium, two California surfers, Ryan Black and Ed Nichols traveled to South America to ride the waves and celebrate.
Little did they know – that excursion would soon create a global phenomenon!
While touring South America, Black and Nichols sampled a little known fruit called Acai (pronounced an-sigh-ee) ...
They loved the cherry with a hint of chocolate taste and the incredible energy boost they quickly felt. They knew if Acai could be exported out of the rain forest, that it would have mass appeal.
So in early 2000, Ryan Black and Ed Nichols formed a company called Sambazon. Sambazon quickly secured the exclusive U.S. distribution rights for the powerful little fruit and kept the main processing factory in Brazil ... in exchange for a portion of the profits being dedicated to rain forest protection. They became the first to import Acai into the United States and became Fair Trade Certified ensuring the native people receive fair wages to live on, simply by harvesting Acai.
As you're probably aware, The Amazon rain forest is being destroyed at
an alarming rate. In recent years, the people of the Amazon have had to
resort to selling their precious trees for lumber just to survive. The
ideals of environmentalists was in direct conflict with the economics of
the region because selling lumber was the only game in town.
Thanks to Sambazon, this little fruit has changed the economic landscape of the Amazon Rain forest. Now the local farmers earn enough from harvesting Acai (which does no harm to the trees) that it's more profitable to maintain the rain forest than it is to destroy it.
What's happening is...
But that's only the half of it - this tale gets a lot more exciting than that.
You see, the indigenous people of the Amazon Rain forest have known about the health benefits of this little purple fruit for centuries. They actually consumed it in preparation for battle against their adversaries. It would make them extremely alert, vibrant and virtually unstoppable. It seemed as though they could not lose – that they could conquer any obstacle that stood in their way.
But there was one complication with harvesting the Acai berry. That being it is extremely perishable. Once picked from the tree, it begins to spoil within 24 hours unless kept frozen. And transporting frozen produce is very costly.
The solution: Freeze drying and ground into powder form. It was only after this unique process could all the benefits of the fruit be kept in tact and still be made available to the consumer.
What benefits can be realized by consuming Acai?
Acai helps you:
Studies have also shown that it:
Not only that – Acai has the highest ORAC value of any food yet discovered.
If you're not sure what an ORAC value is... here's a brief explanation.
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. Developed by the National Institute on Aging, perfected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Brunswick Labs, it measures the ability of a substance to control oxygen free radicals. ORAC is a laboratory test that measures the antioxidant activity of any substance and assigns it a number. The higher the number - the stronger the antioxidant properties of the substance.
Why is the ORAC score so important?
Because oxygen free radicals put your body in a state of constant turmoil. What happens is, any kind of stress we subject our bodies to produces oxygen free radicals. Everything from breathing to exercise, from polluted air to stressful events to an unhealthy diet – all produce free radicals.
Free radicals quite simply are atoms – which we are all made up of – that become unstable. Electrons are depleted due to stress and when that happens, they try to steal an electron from another molecule. When they succeed, it creates another free radical and the process starts all over again.
So you see, this chemical reaction that is taking place in our bodies is always in a conflict to stabilize. As a result, numerous diseases and health issues are realized.
The solution? Antioxidants!
Antioxidants supply free radicals with the extra electron it so desperately wants and needs. Antioxidants enable free radicals to stabilize to their natural state of balance and harmony.
Many scientists agree that damage by oxygen free radicals is behind many of the maladies that come from aging, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. And recent evidence suggests that diminished brain function associated with aging and disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease may be due to increased vulnerability to free radicals.
In fact, studies at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Research Center On Aging at Tuft's University in Boston suggest that consuming foods with a high ORAC value may help slow the aging process in both mind and body.
So how does the Acai berry compare to other well known foods with high antioxidant levels?
Acai has 10 times the antioxidant level of grapes and twice the level of blueberries.
And do you remember that ORAC score I talked about earlier?
Get this!
The USDA recommends 3000-5000 ORAC units per day. 80% of the population consumes less than 1000 units/day. The “5 a day” fruit and vegetable recommendation only provides about 1750 ORAC units.
100 grams of blueberries (until recently had the highest ORAC score) has an ORAC value of 2400 units. Fresh Acai contains 5500 units per 100grams! Freeze Dried Sambazon Acai has...
But that's not all – far from it...
Have you ever heard of the French Paradox? The French are known to consume a heart clogging diet of cheese, sugar, coffee and white flour - yet have a very low rate of heart disease.
This is believed to be due to their significant consumption of red wine and the anthocyanins it contains. Anthocyanins – what???
Anthocyanins are what give plants and fruits their vibrant color and act as sunscreen. The strong sunlight of South America produces tremendous ultra-violet light stress which triggers free radicals to form in the fruit. Acai develops high levels of Anthocyanins because of their high antioxidant properties which stabilize the free radicals.
What's more ...
Acai is chock full of healthy and beneficial Omega fats. 1/3 of the berry is fat – with 74% of it being Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9. Research indicates numerous health benefits from a diet rich in unsaturated Omega fatty acids.
In fact, on September 8, 2006, the US Food and Drug Administration gave “ qualified health claim” status to Omega-3 fatty acids and “supportive research shows that consuming Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease”.
But it doesn't stop there.
Acai contains 44.2 grams of fiber/100 grams. What that means is just 68 grams would provide the recommended daily intake for the average adult.
7.59% of the weight of Acai pulp is amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and 19 different amino acids have been identified in Acai. There is over 8 grams of protein for every 100 grams of pure Acai and Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, E, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Copper and Zinc have all been identified.
Acai also contains 3 plant sterols called photosterols. B-sitosterol, campesterol and sigmasterol which all help to maintain a healthy heart and digestive function.
Even better, a University of Florida study published by assistant professor Stephen Talcott in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry on January 12, 2006 revealed that Acai berries ...
Although encouraging, it is important to note that controlled lab tests are not conclusive on human results. But it's certainly uplifting to say the least.
Now your probably thinking “How can a little fruit the size of a small grape have so many powerful benefits?” Let's check out what the media had to say:
In 2005, Oprah Winfrey stated “... this little berry [Acai] is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world”.
“ Rich in antioxidants and amino
acids, Acai is thought to be one of the most nutritional fruits in the
Amazon basin”. -
New York Times, August 4, 2004
...
as much calcium as milk, more antioxidants than blueberries, a
coffee-like kick, more nutrients than a multi-vitamin and tastes
like chocolate covered cherries”. -
Kevin Kelleher, Business 2.0, February 2005
That's just a couple of the many enthusiasti reviews this power packed little berry has received. Acai has been praised in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Bon Appetit, Gourmet Magazine, ABC News as well as NBC News.
Unfortunately for us who live outside of the Amazon Rain forest, fresh Acai is not available. Like I said earlier, it's extremely perishable and spoils within 24 hours of being picked. Frozen pulp is available in the U.S. - but it is very expensive – and found mainly in juice bars and cannot be shipped without special freezer packaging.
Finally, thanks to technology, Acai is being produced in capsule form as a supplement - but you need to be careful what you purchase!
On store shelves, if it's available where you live, Acai will come in three forms. Spray Dried, Extracts and Freeze Dried. Yet there are some major differences between each that you need to be aware of.
For example, Spray Dried Acai although relatively inexpensive, involves heating the fruit at high temperatures to remove the moisture and than spraying it with a special chemical called maltodextrim to preserve it. Not only is the finish product as much as 40% maltodextrim, the high temperatures required to remove the moisture content actually kills off many of the essential nutrients the fruit contains.
As if that's not enough, don't bother even trying to find out if maltodextrim was used to produce that bottle of Spray dried Acai.
Why?
Because you'll never find it on the label. A loophole in FDA labeling laws does not require it to be listed as an ingredient because it's added during the manufacturing process.
As you might have guessed, Spray Dried Acai that claims to contain 500 mg of Acai per capsule usually only contains about 300 mg of actual Acai.
And extracts are even worse! They're usually made from Spray Dried Acai because it's cheaper and it begs the question – “Why remove certain ingredients from a lesser product?” You want all the beneficial nutrients of the fruit, not just a few of them.
Despite what you may have heard, Spray dried Acai and extracts should be avoided at all costs.
Which brings us to the highest quality Acai supplements you can possibly get - freeze dried! Freeze drying fresh Acai into powder form retains ALL it's precious nutrients. Produced in capsule form makes it an extremely convenient “Superfood”.
Consider this...
So if quality is an issue with you, you'll demand Acai supplements made with pure Sambazon freeze dried Acai because they only use pure Brazilian Acai and because they are helping save our precious Amazon rain forest.
