Acai Berry Scams

It was bound to happen – have you seen the Acai Berry scam sites going around?
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I first posted Jumping On The Acai Berry Bandwagon. Since then, the world (and Oprah) has learned all about the great antioxidant benefits of the tiny Acai berry.
Although it was never originally touted as a diet product, it was only a matter of time before someone tried to make it one.
Now you see these fake sites all over the place.
I’m not going to endorse their sites by creating a link to them, but you can type them in yourself.
Compare these two:
jennysdietblog[dot]com and
debbiesdietblog[dot]blogspot[dot]com
Wow, Jenny and Debbie look amazingly alike, don’t they?
What’s great is you can get fabulous results with Acai Berry and colon cleansing. Who knew?
Plus it’s practically free – just sign up for the free trial and they’ll bill your credit card $xxxx every month after that.
Oh, well…there have been snake oil salesmen since the dawn of man. It’s not about to change now, is it?

Pomegranates Point to Prostate Health
New studies have been done that indicate Pomegranates may play an important role in prostate health by increasing sperm health.
Male lab rats given pomegranate juice showed increased sperm quality, testosterone levels and antioxidant activity. The pomegranate juice also decreased abnormal sperm rate.
Pomegranates aren't the only antioxidants shown to help with prostate health. Resveratrol has gotten a lot of press lately and has been touted as the one of the most exciting longevity discoveries in the last decade.
Resveratrol is the antioxidant from red wine and does quite a bit more than just help with sperm function. It's been shown to reduce colon cancer risk, possibly breast cancer risk as well as prostate cancer risk in significant numbers in lab rats. I'll be covering that more in depth in my upcoming series on anti aging supplements.
Now you could drink copious amounts of red wine (not recommended) and pomegranate juice to get these great health benefits, but I think an easier (and safer) option might just be this:
