Acai Berry Resveratrol Oprah Doctor Oz Health Benefits Weight Loss Don’t Get Scammed!

So, we’re going to be doing lots more health reports since we’ve really gotten into it since we read Anti-Cancer, which our favorite doctor ever recommended to us. The book tells you how to have a healthier lifestyle and how to be proactive to avoid cancer. More on that later, we’re going to write a review of all the things we’ve learned! For now we’re going to start informing you of health articles we read since we think that every Smartypanties should be proactive about good health. I must preface this though with the fact that I have no health expertise and only personal opinions. I’m not a doctor nor do I have any medical training. All I’ve got is good sense and logic and the knowledge I gain from the many articles and books I read about health. That said, here goes nothing…

So you’ve heard no doubt about the acai berry and all of its wonderful health benefits. Perhaps you’ve even heard it from Oprah who had Dr. Oz on not too long ago to discuss how to “Age Great” or something like that. He also mentioned resveratrol being good. This is found in products like grapes and red wine. Since then there have been numerous products being marketed on the Web and in health food stores claiming to be anti-aging and the like. However, note that neither Oprah nor Dr Oz were endorsing such supplements!

However, as always we’re skeptical. What can we say, it’s the lawyer in us. Recently Consumer Reports blogged that evidence on the health benefits of acai berries is scant. The Better Business Bureau also transmitted similar warnings about Websites using “misleading sales and marketing practices” to promote acai berry products.

While the encouraging test tube and experimental animal research, with purified resveratrol, has yielded some beneficial results, so far that hasn’t been true for humans.

Bottom line- don’t be scammed into buying this stuff. As always, we think it’s best to just eat the fruit or drink red wine (in moderation of courseàdo as I say, not as I do!!!!!) but don’t waste your money on supplements for this until there is more concrete evidence.
