Have you ever heard of the French Paradox? The French are known to consume a heart clogging diet of cheese, sugar, coffee and white flour - yet have a very low rate of heart disease. This is believed to be due to their significant consumption of red wine and the anthocyanins it contains. Anthocyanins give plants and fruits their vibrant color and act as sunscreen. The strong sunlight of South America produces tremendous ultra-violet light stress which triggers free radicals to form in the fruit. Acai develops high levels of Anthocyanins because of their high antioxidant properties which stabilize the free radicals.
