People want a "get thin quick" scheme to get out of the hard work of dieting and exercise. Doing nothing and taking acai berry won't help you lose weight. You have to stop being lazy and work for it....

Nothing is free.... Period!

I unfortunately have a friend who signed up for the "Free Acai Capsules" deal.

A word of warning. MSN accounts are being hacked and messages being sent out from within your own group of friends. My buddies own mother (or her account anyway) sent him an email extolling the virtues of the berries, and how she lost 27 pounds in 3 weeks with no exercise and diet. Because it came from his mom he believed it and ordered. The shipping was all he had to pay right? Since he was outside the US it was 20 bucks.

Then a month later he tried calling the number to cancel, since it didn't work. He never found anyone online, on the phone or to respond to his emails. He was charged $180 for the "free bottles".

I told him to do a google search on "Acai Scam" and he found volumes of warnings and stories of people ripped off just like him. Luckily he found this quicker than most, since he was able to cancel his credit card before the other "offers" he signed up for were billed to him. But many MANY people werent. Online gyms? Non-existent personal trainer fees? ALL part of the small print no one ever reads.....

Acai may be healthy and/or de-toxifying as they claim, but everyone needs to remember, AND teach their kids, friends and relatives, that NOTHING is free. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Acai is available other places, but it is certainly not free. If you want to try, please buy it, Free wont make you happy in the long run.

I have read many good things about Acai, and with promotion from Oprah and other celebrities I can see how it has blown up into a monster business, but I wonder how Oprah and those others feel now that literally MILLIONS have been swindled from everyday people due to the scams? I am sure they had nothing to do with it, but if it were me, I would feel DAMN guilty.....

Oprah is rich enough, maybe she will pay back the people who got ripped off instead of buying her audience cars next time......

Acai berries has proven to be effective for weight loss and i have seen many happy faces, but i found that there also might be few side effects?

Here it mentions that it can lead to colon cancer , and if i am not wrong that also Alli pill lately has been linked to colon cancer case. Can search up a source if ya folks want.

There's simply no denying that acai berry is a nutritious fruit. It is loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and fiber. However, it's not some miracle, cure-all solution some companies are saying it is. Be careful when looking for products as well, some of them may contain little or no real acai in them.

I LOOOOOOVE acai, it has such an amazing chocolate/berry flavor. Plus it does wonders for your body. I love getting acai smoothies, and acai bowls. Pretty much the most amazing thing ever.
