I just thought I'd throw up two blog posts by guys I highly respect in the field of nutritional research and authoring. It seems every week there's a thread making the rounds here regarding super fruits and their supposed magical properties. Here's some objective information to digest.
 
I'm pretty sure people here knows my view on stuff like this. You just have to look at how much money is pumped into the diet industry from people wanting the easy way out. Madison Avenue is always looking for the newest thing to sell. Acai Berry is just the lastest in a long line.

Just remember, if it's too good to be true..do the research.
 
I would like to throw in a personal favorite blog of mine, which is a blog written by several people, notably marc crislip of Quackcast and steven novella of SGU. In general if they have written an article on a miracle this or miracle that, it is worth readin. Marc crislips pieces especially is a nice mixture of making you laugh at the ridiculousness of the matter and giving you nausea at how much quackery is abound and how big an industry it is :)
 
The only super fruit in existence is the cranberry. It says so on that one commercial. And, since I saw it on TV, it means that it must be true.
