The family of ideas this falls under is the idea that inflammation impairs how your body uses blood sugar, and since Acai Berry is relatively high in anti-oxidants, that Acai Berry will promote weight loss by reducing inflammation. Sound great? Consider the following
- There is ZERO research supporting Acai Berry for weight loss.
- The anti-oxidant value of Acai Berry is far exceeded many times over by numerous products, such as BodyGlo and many other serious superfood formulations.
In fact, you can beat the anti-oxidant value of Acai Berry many times over with regular old Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an ultra powerful anti-oxidant and taken in doses of 3-5 grams at night is far more effective and a whole lot cheaper than Acai Berry.
The bodies most powerful anti-oxidants are enzymes - glutathione peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dimustase. I suggest you look at our section on Advanced Weight Loss. We cover inflammation and weight loss in great detail there.
Save your money when it comes to Acai Berry. Products hawking it for weight control are simply a joke."
