The Acai Berry is a small grape-sized berry that grows in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil. Natives of the region have harvested this berry as part of their diet for hundred of years.

Acai is a natural anti-oxidant and has long been believed to have cancer fighting properties. Believing is one thing, but actual clinical research is quite another. In 2006 the University of Florida took on the study of Acai and published a ground breaking study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

The study stated that Acai berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested in vitro. In the current UF study, six different chemical extracts were made from ACAI fruit pulp, and each extract was prepared in seven concentrations. Four of the extracts were shown to kill significant numbers of leukemia cells when applied for 24 hours. Depending on the extract and concentration, anywhere from about 35 percent to 86 percent of the cells died.
