Thank you - LESLIE Sat, 19 Jul 2008 09:53:12 +0100 Acai Kill Cancer Cells http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6036/1/#pc_11590 A University of Florida study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry on Jan 12. 2006 found that Acai berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested in vitro. While we consider this study a promising start, it is important to understand that the Acai killed cultured cancer cells in a test tube - this is very different than killing cancer in the human body. Obviously, much more research needs to be done before anyone could make any cancer claims regarding Acai in the human body. Check out my <b>Acai Swicki</b> for additional information. - Jayakumar Sun, 14 Oct 2007 11:48:46 +0100
