Acai Berry Scams

I heard about a number of people eating bowls of ACai berries with whip cream. That didnt sound good.

How much is an acai berry? and how do we grow em?

The next big weight loss thing is organic Serviceberries which you must pick yourself. Serviceberries grow in a tree and youd have to expend a lot of energy gettin yer fat ass up the tree.

I am given to understand the acai berry is just a berry, with the antioxidents of several other berries. They only help when the person exercises and eats healthful food.

i'm always amazed by this kind of stuff, i've bought cranberry/acai juice blends before (100% juice not from concentrate) because cranberry is good for you and the antioxidants are good for you, but i never expected any kind of miracle, i figure the benefits make it a better option than soda

The Acai craze seems as uninformed as the smaller Guarana craze that preceeded it.

Both are great and delicious Brazilian staples but are not magical at all. Acai pulp is great frozen with granola. I used to eat that about once a week in Brazil. It looks like this:



I don't get why Acai is promoted for weight loss in America, I think if anything it does the opposite.

They (promoters) somehow got inspired by whatever Oprah Winfrey does on TV. The craze picked up steam off of that, if I read the signs correctly. But the worst part of it comes down to robbery of credit card users. A single company advertises under multiple web pages, giving an appearance of diversity. They offer a free or greatly discounted bottle, then end by charging your card for three bottles, at 70 or 80 dollars each. Then, monthly, they grab more.

I have heard that from several sources.

Hmmm...dried ones suddenly appeared in upmarket supermarkets a while back here. Was wondering why.

My email is rife with offers to buy these things.
