Ingredient Highlight: The Açai Berry

Lately, many people have been hearing about the health benefits of Açai (pronounced ah-sigh-eee) berries. They contain naturally occurring, potent antioxidants which scavenge free radicals within the body. Many companies process the berries into juice form, then flash pasteurize it and add sodium benzoate as a preservative. Unfortunately, sodium benzoate reacts with vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to form the cancer-causing compound benzene. Flash pasteurization destroys naturally occurring vitamins and enzymes. The good news is that a freeze-dried form of the Açai berry is available in a preservative-free, raw (non-pasteurized) supplement called Berry Radical. The nutrient rich powder also contains 9 of the world's most powerful antioxidant superfoods including raw cacao (chocolate), berries, fruits and marine algae. Treat yourself to a healthy indulgence!
