While it is clear that consuming acai berry can be beneficial to overall health, there are inherent risks in consuming any food.
- Allergy to pollen: If you have any allergies to pollen or other fruits, be very careful before adding acai berries to your diet. Consult your doctor for an updated allergen test if you suspect an allergy.
- Effects of additives: The additional ingredients added to the supplements can reduce the benefits of the fruit, or even prove harmful to your health. A common additive is caffeine, however, many nutritional supplements are unregulated, which means they could contain other unknown substances.
- High sugar content: The fruit and its juice contain sugars and calories, which can be detrimental to weight loss attempts and can also be very dangerous for diabetics if consumed in bulk. *
