Acai Berry Diet – Medical Side

When you take a look at many of the dietary crazes that have swept through the internet, many have turned out to be scams on one level or another.  At the very least, each one was guilty of embellishment bordering on false advertising.  Given that particular fact, it is no wonder that many people are nervous about the acai berry diet.

That having been said, the nervous people are overlooking one fact that makes the acai berry and subsequent acai diet plans that are based on it quite a bit different from just about anything else available in online weight loss.  That fact is that the acai berry is backed by some serious science and is also backed up by thousands of years of history in South America where civilizations have used it for some time.

On the medical side of things, the acai berry diet has been looked at by doctors, life scientists, kinesiologists and health scientists, all of whom have agreed that this little berry is one of the most remarkable foods around.  In fact, many of them have become quite enthusiastic about it, even to the point where many family doctors are now recommending it as a way for some of their patients to deal with problems outside of the realm of general weight loss.

This point is worth emphasizing, because most people may now know exactly how the scientific community works.  When something is big, scientists get major credibility points if they are able to demonstrate something that runs counter to the prevailing theory.  Essentially, this means that scientific inquiry is set up such that scientists have much more to gain by disproving something than by proving it.  In other words, scientists have no interest in making anything look good, yet they are coming out with glowing reports about the berry and corresponding acai diet plan.

The only way that this could be true is if the acai berry diet was a legitimate diet that really helped people lose weight and keep the lost weight off.  Otherwise, it would be torn down by the medical community and be relegated to the scrap heap of online weight loss products, something that appears like it won’t be happening.
