Acai - Health Miracle or Bank Breaker?
By newsguy | July 17, 2008
Even though you can only pick it in the Amazon rainforest, you can now pick it up everywhere - including a Tropicana line of special juices and Campbell’s V8 Fusion juices, in your grocery store. Acai, “wonder berry”, supposedly an incredible antioxidant, is taking the world by storm. MySpace is filled with Mona Vie Acai juice sellers spamming us to high heaven (Mona Vie has an MLM program…) and our television are chock-a-block with acai talk (including a recent segment on Oprah). What could it hurt to try such an incredible “cure” for aging and illness? Your wallet. Acai juice is a very expensive addition to any diet.
Is it worth it? Can you put a price on good health? Check out this ABC News video report on Acai (and Mona Vie) and judge for yourself.
Are you a woman who’s taken Acai (Mona Vie or another) and have something to say about it? Have other health-related advice you’d like to get paid to share? Prevention Magazine, a leader in health publications, is paying everyday women up to $100/month to share their stories, tips, and thoughts on a new health blog community.
