yea, some WWII romance thing...guess they are still going through w/ the movie though. I have to agree w/ Steve though...no one should be as big as she is. And, I know people will disagree w/ me...BUT, she doesn't believe in true christianity..the 3 in one...and for her to be so huge putting out her disbelief like that, turns me off big time...but again, thats me...not intrested in any debate on the matter.

I was thinking of marketing weight-loss dirt... think anyone would buy it? 
Acai is very high in anti-oxidants, and is considered a superfood, but it's not going to help you lose weight... I guess fighting free radicals doesn't generate enough ad revenue...

haha! So true, but the average consumer doesn't care about something that will help their health...they just want to LOOK a certain way
Screw health! hahahaha 
Exactly. Just the flavor of the week.
How can people buy into this stuff? Are they really that desperate?
The sky is pink.

Acai Berries taste really good...
... Therefore, they must not help with weight loss.

So you're saying this isn't about the electronic goods made by Akai?

I did a post on those berries a week or so ago. They are healthy. The fresh berries have a high amount of anti-oxydants (but isn't very effective against hydroxyl radicals), fiber and fatty acids (Omega 3,6,9). The juice is about middle of the road in anti oxydant properties according to what I've read. Several other commonly available juices do as well or better.
All in all it's a very healthy food, but it's no magic bullet for fat loss, so don't buy into that one. I've heard mixed reports about the energy aspect of the berry, too. Maybe a white can of Rockstar instead? Be advised that the fresh berry loses a good percentage of it's antioxydant properties fairly rapidly after harvest. That is one reason to use a processed form.
On that note, it's definitely buyer beware, as some of the acai berry products actually re reported to contain relatively little of the stuff. Some studies have linked them to positive effects fighting cancer and other diseases, but it doesn't seem to me that you can count on any of that yet if you're in a position to need something like that. More news should be available as more studies are done.
Right now it does seem like acai is the "flavor of the month" as far as trendy new foods go.

Make sure they aren't going to bill your credit card every month. Take a good look at the agreement you approved to get the free trial.

Anything with acai berry related to weight loss is a scam.
I have some inside information that there is one guy who is only 20 years old that is spending $20K a day on google adsense and adwords to promote acai berry for weight loss.
I also know google shut down the weight loss category recently for their adsense because these acai berry ads were dominating everything and google was receiving thousands of complaints about this scam. Many legitimate products and websites got caught up in this shutdown and now they are fighting with google to get their websites and ads reinstated.
All the blogs you see where it is from an individual person saying they lost X amount of pounds taking XYZ acai berry supplement are all fake.
Acai berry is a powerful antioxidant and has some great benefits, but achieving miracle weight loss isn't one of them.

Good topic! I knew that this was the right forum for me to join when I read through this thread. I've seen so many articles proclaiming the "miracle" weight loss benefits of taking acai. Yes, the berries are good for health, but to claim they're a dieter's total weight loss dream is just plain deceitful.
