Beware of Acai scams!
Since Sambazon began importing acai products in 2000, the acai craze has grown by leaps and bounds. However, you'll quickly find many reports of people getting scammed on the internet by companies that are not reputable.
Apparently, in a recent Oprah show Dr. Mehmet Oz spoke about acai as one of the greatest superfoods and since then the explosion of acai products on the internet has been ridiculous. And because so many people are interested in weight loss you'll find all sorts of magical acai weight-loss products. It's crazy!
Now, acai is indeed a great fruit, but you might want to learn what is the real substance behind it and whether you can get those same benefits from local, cheaper foods. Foods such as artichokes, cranberries, prunes and cilantro are wonderful alternatives.
