Of all the things we can do to make incremental changes in our health, vitality and quality of life, there are precious few single choices or actions that have such far-reaching and dynamic effects that they can potentially be game-changers in propelling us forward in all areas of our wellness,  and the prevention of disease.

The subject of this month's feature delivers a strong answer to that elusive promise, on a level that has perhaps never occurred in our lifetimes.

While that July sound like a stretch, take some time with this issue.  After compiling the research, science and bottom-line results for this feature issue, we believe it could be the among the most important and impactful news you can get and apply in your life today for your current and future health.

That is certainly the resounding message we got from some of the best and brightest minds in wellness, whose research and experience on this compelling topic is highlighted here in this issue on the amazing açaí berry from Brazil.

 Researchers now all point to one single culprit

It is not often, looking across the intimidating sea of health research, that we find near unanimous  agreement from top experts and across the board research findings converging into one singular  cause of virtually every disease and condition that plagues the US and world today at alarming rates.

However, that is exactly what is now happening.  In The Antioxidant Miracle, Lester Packer, PhD, states, "Scientists now believe that free radicals are causal factors in nearly every known disease, from heart disease to arthritis to cancer and cataracts.  In fact, free radicals are a major culprit in the aging process itself."  It is this chain reaction of unstable free radicals in our body that create cellular damage, leading to unbridled inflammation and eventually disease.   This process of oxidation is much like the rusting of iron, but it is in the very cells of our body.  Today’s environment of stress, pollution, processed foods, and nutrient deficient fruits and vegetables drives this life-robbing, pre-mature aging process and diseases at a higher rate than ever - yet points to a single, simple solution.
