Phytonutrients, which are members of the antioxidant family, gobble up "free radicals" -- oxygen molecules that play a role in the onset of illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease. Acai berries seem to have very high levels of antioxidants – higher than blueberries, strawberries, and other fruits. Acai berries also contain healthy fatty acids. Substances in acai berries may reduce inflammation and could possibly slow the spread of cancer cells. Acai has been sold as a dietary supplement for conditions like high cholesterol, heart problems, allergies, and cancer.
