Show me facts.

Don't come here acting like a fool saying, "come to me with facts."

The burden of proof rests solely on your shoulders. And demanding facts against your own claims is what's going to get this thread closed. Since you like facts... show em.

Not articles.

Not opinions.

The other problem is if you were eating that much the fruits and vegetables we buy don’t have ½ the nutrients that they used to because the keep reusing the same soil.
Proof?

It's only an accusation if there is a possibility that it isnt true. In regards to your other posts... I never said you were spamming. I know you arent spamming but you arent contributing anything useful. You arent providing anything that will help anyone out (unless helping yourself financially counts, in which case you are helping one person).

monavie health is infamous around these parts
If you call sharing with people a healthy way in life I guess there’s something wrong with what I’m doing. I’m telling people my experience with Monavie and how it made me and my family feel. It gives a very good boost of energy and has made me sleep better and longer with out getting up. My knee pain is mostly gone and swelling is nonexistent, I don’t know what more you can ask for. The facts about ACAI read DR. Shauss book it will tell you all you need to know about ACAI and what it does. Someone mentioned it’s not pure ACAI; it is the purest ACAI you can get unless you pick it off the tree. The process they use to harvest and handle the Berry is what makes it the strongest form of ACAI you can get. Go to any of the Monavie sites read what’s in it. Listen to what people have to say. Your always going to have people bad mouth a product or system but try it or talk to people who have other than me see what they think. I think you’re going to find a lot of positive feed back from who use Monavie.

If you take Monavie out of the equation, and I just spoke of ACAI who that have made everyone feel better? My only issue is the strongest ACAI I have been able to find is in Monavie so that’s why I speak so highly of it.

the resemblances to herbalife are really quite uncanny...

I'll stick to good old fashioned time proven methods for health and leave the 40 dollars in my own pocket...

I've read them all.

Appeals to authority and such aren't facts.

You regurgitating what the pamphlet states is not facts.

You brought the whole 'fact card' up.

Now listen to your own advice and give us facts. Verified, peer-reviewed facts.

Steve, or anyone else in the know...

Wasn't there a study not so long ago on anti-oxidants that had to be stopped early because the patients' health was deteriorating quicker from having TOO much in their system?

I thought I had read that somewhere, but I may be wrong. I can't seem to dig the information up again.

And is this ACAI stuff just a super-potent anti-oxidant?

Here we go.

This is the article I was looking for...

WHFoods: Can you get too many antioxidants?

Some quotes from that page:

Quote:
During the 1990's, researchers began to conduct very large-scale studies (involving tens of thousands of participants) to determine the benefits of antioxidants in fairly high doses. The Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene, and Cancer prevention study (ATBC), the Physicians' Health Study (PHS), the Beta-Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET), and the Skin Cancer Prevention Study (SCPS) were among these large-scale studies. One very unexpected result in several of these studies was the fact that antioxidant dietary supplements actually increased the risk of disease instead of lowering it.
Quote:
The problem with thinking about antioxidants as "good guys" is that every antioxidant can become a prooxidant, i.e., it can reverse its role in our metabolism.
Quote:
when an antioxidant gives away an electron, another problem occurs. The antioxidant itself becomes a radical, because it now has a leftover electron.
So anyway, a good balance of antioxidants is good for you... but oversaturating your body with them, through supplementation (this ACAI berry stuff you're talking about), could prove to be harmful.
