What Happened?


At the turn of the last century the leading causes of death were infectious diseases, tuberculosis, pneumonia and syphilis.

Since then, cancer, heart disease and other chronic ailments have become the leading causes of death, along with deaths from hospital acquired infections and prescription drugs.

Improvements in public sanitation and personal hygiene-and year-round access to fresh produce-can explain the decline in deaths from some infectious diseases.

But what explains the meteoric rise in death from chronic diseases?

Through a series of articles, we will explore what has happened in the last century and how you (and your family) can avoid being another victim of a chronic disease.

Vote Positive Positive ( 0 ) Vote Negative Negative ( 0 ) Question
Being overweight is one of the main reasons for illness today. Controlling weight willgive an enormous boost to better health. Due to this there are loads of products on the market claiming miraculous powers. The Acai Berry is one such.
This is being heralded as a new miracle and the cure for all ills. However, there is much controversy about how effective it actually is.
The acai berry and berry diet has had a great amount of media and news coverage in the last 5-10 years. The acai became popular in the United States in the early 2000s and has recently become popular as a supplement. This berry is new therefore many claims are unquestioned by those who know nothing about the product.

The claims that are made about the acai berry diet have caused excitement and disappointment. To understand the claims of the acai berry diet and their validity, will help you to understand what you can expect.

Not Approved

The diet often features claims that it will help people lose weight. It also claims that it can help increase sex drive and is a great way to perform a full body cleansing process. There is no scientific backing behind these claims. Therefore, these claims are not approved by the FDA.

Not Disproved

While these claims are not proven the claims have not necessarily been disproved. As the acai is new, tests and scientific research is being done on the validity of these claims. Eventually, we will have a better understanding as to the full scientific claims of the berry.. It is important to understand that while they have yet to be disproved they may not be true.

The acai berry is health. Doctors do not question the health benefits of eating an acai berry.
The questions that arise come from the unfounded claims for situations such as weight loss and cleansing. While these diets may be able to help in these areas, supplementing the diet with other diets is the best way to see results.
Have as a health supplement but take the other claims lightly.
