Does an Acai Berry Detox Work?


Acai Berry Detox Ads Are Everywhere

In looking for information on whether an Acai berry detox regimen will even work, This reviewer has found one thing for sure and that’s that, most information on any sort of

Acai berry detox is from someone wanting you to buy one from them. So of course they’re going to tell you all of the wonderful things. Right?

That’s not good enough for most consumers though. We deserve to know if our money’s wasted on such a thing as an Acai berry detox before we spend it. Learning the hard way is a good way to insure the message gets pounded into our collective thick skulls…but it’s unnecessary. We have technology. Research can be difficult since even “warning” references tend to lead to yet another sales page.

Let this author be the first to admit that, whenever the first few ads for an Acai berry detox started showing up, it was intriguing to say the least. The offers of relieving one’s own body of wastes, toxins, and heavy metals, all without the cost and inconvenience of chelation, sounded wonderful.

In addition, just about anyone who enjoys a good, sweet and tart, berry flavored drink would enjoy a good Acai berry detox. And even on the sides of the bottles of any brand of an Acai berry detox can read off the list of valuable, and helpful anti-oxidants, among the other vitamins and minerals.

The question here though is, if a nutrition based detox would work at all. It’s not that there’s any doubt of the nutritional value, or the incredibly good flavor, but just how effective is an Acai detox?

The whole concept of the body accumulating toxins has been shown before, medically, but what’s known to be true based upon research and evidence doesn’t always seem to jibe with what’s being claimed by some within the Acai berry industry.

Is the Acai berry detox industry as legitimate as they claim to be? Or might there be some sort of a cover-up within the health and nutrition industry of not only approaches like an Acai berry detox, but of many nutrition-based health care strategies. If something as powerful as a food-based approach to good health were to take off, several industries would soon feel the economic heat.
