University of Florida came up with some interesting findings about Acai berry and cancer. Cancer being the most deadly disease after Aids is still not curable. It keeps the researchers always on their toes to find something that could cure cancerous cells. This is one of the first studies to probe if Acai berry has some effects on cancerous cells. The finding of the above mentioned studies showed that antioxidants present in Acai berry destroyed cultured human cancer cells.
With the growing popularity of Acai berry, research work about its effects on different health conditions is also speeded up. As Acai has been proved to be highly beneficial for curing different diseases including heart related ailments and diabetes, its ability to fight cancerous cells cannot be ruled out yet. The research done by Florida University was published in a journal of agricultural and food chemistry, explained at length that up to 86% of human cancer cells can be destroyed by Acai berry essence.
However it is too early to conclude that Acai is a cure for cancer. The official statement about the above mentioned studies made it very clear that they were encouraged by the findings because compounds that show positive results in model system are likely to have a good impact in real human body as well. This is the basis of all the hype created by the food industry claiming that Acai berry can cure cancer cannot be relied upon yet.
The day does not seem to be too far when our scientists will be successful in relating Acai berry and cancer. Nobody knows where cancer comes from, but the treatment so far known to humans wreaks havoc to our bodies. Different therapies like chemotherapy robs the patient’s body of essential hormonal balance, appetite and overall looks one cannot do without. All hair is gone after a few sessions of chemotherapy.
If medical community is successful in establishing the assumption that Acai berry can cure cancer, the demand for Acai will shoot up dramatically and may be artificial methods of growing this fruit will not remain unexplored.
