Ok, this is pretty cool. In petrie dishes, this little purple berry from Brazil killed signifigant numbers of leukemic cells! How many is significant? 35-85% Wow! AND it has made the OPRAH show! Ahem. How much better an endorsement does it need than THAT? On TOP of that, they are calling it "The Amazon's Viagra!"

And guess what? Grapes, guavas and mangoes have the same effect on cancer cells, they kill em. Color of the Acai berry? Dark purple and the size of a blueberry. Eat more fruits and definitely EAT MORE COLOR! They are rich in antioxidants.
Not only that:
here is a list of 10 "superfoods" from the OPRAH website too:
Acai berry was number 1
Anything from the ALLUM family- onions, scallions, garlic, chives, leeks
Barley
Green Foods
Buckwheat
Lentils and Beans
Hot Peppers
Nuts and Seeds
Sprouts
Yogurt and Kefir
Look at how many we hit when we eat RAW--how cool is that???
After 30 days if you start adding in interesting grains like the barleys and quinoa...well quinoa, the lost food of the INCAS with over 2600 varieties, wasn't actually on THIS list, but wait til I tell you about QUINOA! WOW! 20% protein in that little puppy! Pronounce it KEEN-WA
We are on the right track girls! :)

I've added a new section on the side:
The voices of those that love you
so you can add any "comments" you get as you start. I've put some of my favorites that IN THE PAST when I would say I was modifying my eating would hear from others and cause me to shift out.
if you notice, they are basted heavily in GUILT! Now, I would encourage you to add to the list with any that you recall-and notice if they work this time.
I'm noticing that they DON'T this time. That's huge coming from a Greek Italian background that is marinated in food-guilt-love marinara.
