My e-mail is being bombarded with ads and "news items" touting the Açaí fruit (Euterpe oleracea) from a same-named palm. What's the TRUTH about this "miracle" plant?

I need a medically-recognized and respected website source where I can read-up on this plant extract, without having to wade through self-promoting ads or phony “news reports” by those who plan to profit handsomely by trying to fool me (which is sometimes easily done, as I once voted for Nixon).
