Golden Lyre

The popularity of Acai Berry suddenly skyrocketed when The Oprah Winfrey show and others featured this new found jewel of the Amazon. Dr. Oz, the popular guest on Oprah, praised the health benefits of the palm berry. Oprah makes it clear she has not endorsed any Acai Berry products, her image is used to promote Acai by many internet retailers. The Acai Berry is so profitable it is now marketed online by droves of suppliers as the magic bullet for everything from weight loss to a cancer cure. Three of the biggest Acai myths are exposed in this article.

First, the Acai Berry promotes weight loss. While Acai is packed with anti-oxidants, fatty acids and is high in fiber, how this contributes to burning fat is never explained. Anti-oxidants bond with free radicals that damage cells in your body. Anti-oxidants and fatty acids contribute to good health, but do not turn your body into a fat burning machine.

The second myth is that the Acai Berry promotes muscle growth. Claims of guys getting ripped because of Acai are common. There are even stories of the Spartans in the movie 300 taking Acai to get their chiseled physiques. But one of the top fitness trainers in the world explains ‘all those Acai sites do is steal photos from other sites and put them on those blogs. Those sites are 100% lies. There’s not a word of truth on any of those sites’. The fact is the 300 were trained by Mark Twight and Acai was not part of the regimen. While Acai is nutritious, it contains nothing to increase muscle growth or improve definition.

Third is the myth of the free sample. Free trial offers, not free samples, are advertised on tens of thousands of websites. Many feel the offers are a scam so be sure to read the fine print. Here is how it goes: the consumer covers the cost of shipping and handling, usually around seven dollars, with their credit card and the free trial product is shipped. Now for the fine print which says the length of the free trial, usually fourteen days, and if the trial samples are not returned the buyer will be charged the full price of the product. The cost is often forty dollars or more, and the seller will continue charging the card and shipping product monthly until cancelled.

While many myths about Acai are found online, this article addressed three of the most common myths. Many Acai internet sites have excellent sales pitches, but now you are equipped to read those websites and their stories with a critical eye.
