Acai Gets Thumbs-Up From Dr. Julian Whitaker

"Fruit juice has never been high on my list of recommended foods. No matter how natural it is, it contains too much concentrated sugar. One type of juice, however, merits a big thumbs-up: Açai... Unlike most juices, most of Açai's calories come not from sugar but from healthful omega-6 and omega-9 fats. It also contains hefty doses of fiber, potassium, iron, vitamins C & E, and other nutrients." - Dr. Julian Whitaker, The Insider's Guide to America 's Worst & Best Supplements. May 2005, page 5.
