Acai Berry juice

Rockestone · 01-01-2009, 05:35 PM

My neighbor gave me the whole sale pitch on this stuff. No doubt that berry from South America is healthy, but I'm not so sure it's worth the money they want for the juice.

I've seen claims where it improves your vision and can help cancer patients???

I'm a little skeptical.

Acai has been mixed in the fruit drink bars in Brazil forever, mostly along the beaches. Judging by the bodies, it doesn't hurt.

Guarana berries from the Amazon supposedly hold magical powers as well, but just upset my stomach in the powder form.

Both are dirt cheap in Brazil, but overhyped, overpriced, and slickly packaged here for all the Americans trying to break the spell of aging and desiring to lose the fat that they pick up every day at the drive through.

LOL same here.

I said same as I do to anyone who offers me a MLM marketing thing if it works so well you pay for my expenses then. That normally stops any sales pitches at that point.

Just out of boredom I got a few bottles of juice for a few bucks compared to the 40+ he wanted.

Can't say it did anything nor did it taste great.

Guarana is basically caffeine- I can understand the powder might make you sick to your stomach! Yup- I can't turn around or open my emails w/o seeing more crap about the damn Acai berry. Last year- I mean in 2007, wasn't it the Kona berry or something? A fool and his money are, in fact, quickly departed!

I was told by my doc to start eating vegetables any way that I could and it would make me feel better and help me to lose some weight. Well he was right I have a glass of the V8 fusion Acia Berry Juice daily and have dropped some weight and feel a lot better my vote
