Ever heard of Cupuacu? Yeah, me neither. But it could be the next superfood, according to health food sources. It's a tree found in the Amazon Rainforest and it a relative of the cacao plant. Want to know more? It's been said to have a number of amazing benefits, such as:
  • It can increase your libido
  • It can boost your immune system
  • It can reduce the signs of aging and help you look and feel younger
  • It help your body fight disease and cancer cells
  • It's high in antioxidants.
And the best part? I've never tried it I hear it has a delicious chocolaty taste. Mmm ...

What do you think -- is this the next superfood, or just a new name for snake oil?
