Mila Seed, Bob Arnot, and Omega 3 and 6

Everyone knows that Omega 3 is good for you, right? Well, yes, it is. What about Omega 6? That’s good for you too.

Omega 3 helps our bodies in so many ways. From a potent anti-inflammatory to reducing blood pressure, to reduction in the chances of contracting a whole array of dangerous diseases. It is no wonder that medical experts are pushing for Americans to get much more of each of these back into our diet. What a lot of people don’t know is that of the two, Omega 3 is far, far better for you. Unfortunately it’s also much less commonly seen in our foods. In fact the typical American diet has between 40 and 50x as much Omega 6 to Omega 3. Experts estimate that the perfect ration is actually 3x Omega 3 to Omega 6. What all this boils down to is that we need, somehow, to get a hell of a lot more Omega 3 into our bodies.

Mila Seed

Getting more Omega 3 into the blood stream is difficult because there are not that many sources that are rich enough to provide the required amounts. This is where Mila seed — the food with highest concentration of Omega 3 fatty acids known to man — comes in. Mila seed contains Alpha Linolenic fatty acid (ALA), which is the only essential omega 3 fatty acid; this cannot be manufactured by the body so needs to be introduced in food.

Bob Arnot

Bob Arnot is a big player in medical circles, and you may well have heard of him and his work. He has worked in various different countries, and was the chief medical editor and special foreign correspondent for NBC news. Bob wanted to move onto something that he felt very strongly about, and has made the move to Lifemax as the Chief Wellness Educator.

Arnot’s mission is push the Mila seed where it belongs: to the forefront of modern medical thinking.

Side Effects of Acai

Visa shutdown of Acai Berry free trial scams not very effective so far

We were thrilled to report here
last week about the recent action taken by the credit card company Visa to shutdown the accounts of about 100 fly by night companies that were processing the charges for Acai Berry Scams.

Research finds scammers still operating

We are still hopeful that these and other actions will put an end to these vultures. Yes, there has been a decrease in the number of companies and the flood of marketing of these scams, but for now it appears that those being shut down are quickly being replaced by other companies. Or often, the same companies under different names. We did some research and found that the affiliate networks that promote the Free Trial Offers of Acai to websites and email marketers are already replacing the brands of Acai.

See for yourself

So, the brand names are changing, but the scummy marketing techniques are the same. You can verify this yourself by simply typing acai berry free trial into google.com or bing.com. The paid ads pushing the scams are still there at the right side, and sometimes at the very top.

What can you do to stop them?

Before making a purchase or signing up for a “free trial”, consumers should check the company out with on the BBB Web site to see if it has racked up complaints. Consumers who’ve been caught up in the scams should
file complaints with the FTC online or by phone at 1-877-FTC-HELP.
You might also want to know that every time you click on one of the scammers paid ads at the far right of the google search results, it costs the scammers between 50c and $1. Happy clicking!

Health and beauty benefits

Have you heard about the acai berry? Do you want to know more about the health benefits of acai berries and berry juice? Acai berries are highly touted by marketers who say it’s one of the elite superfoods with anti-aging and weight loss properties. Some manufacturers use acai berries in cosmetics and beauty products. But do scientific studies support these claims of acai benefits?

What is the acai berry?
The acai berry is an inch-long reddish, purple fruit. It comes from the acai palm tree (Euterpe oleracea), which is native to Central and South America. It is a relative of the blueberry, cranberry, and other dark purple fruits.

Research on the acai berry has focused on its possible antioxidant activity. Theoretically, that activity may help prevent diseases caused by oxidative stress such as heart disease and cancer.

Is the acai berry healthy?
Acai contains several substances called anthocyanins and flavonoids.

The word anthocyanin comes from two Greek words meaning “plant” and “blue.” Anthocyanins are responsible for the red, purple, and blue hues in many fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Foods that are richest in anthocyanins — such as blueberries, red grapes, red wine, and acai — are very strongly colored, ranging from deep purple to black.

Anthocyanins and flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that help defend the body against life’s stressors. They also play a role in the body’s cell protection system. Free radicals are harmful byproducts produced by the body. Eating a diet rich in antioxidants may interfere with aging and the disease process by neutralizing free radicals.

By lessening the destructive power of free radicals, antioxidants may help reduce the risk of some diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.

Are there known health benefits of acai berries?
Some studies show that acai fruit pulp has a very high antioxidant capacity with even more antioxidant content than cranberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, or blueberry. Studies are ongoing, though, and the jury is still out.

People eat acai berries to address various health conditions. But so far, acai berries have no known health benefit that’s any different than that of other similar fruits.

Can acai berries boost weight loss?
Scientists are learning more about the functional power of superfoods, such as the acai berry. Although acai is touted in some weight loss products, few studies have tested the benefit of acai in promoting weight loss.

For now, plenty of research supports eating a diet rich in antioxidants. There’s no doubt that berries and other fruits are a key part of any healthy diet promoting weight loss. The jury’s still out on whether there is something special about acai’s ability to shed excess pounds.

Why are acai berries used in beauty products?
Some cosmetics and beauty products contain acai oil in the ingredient list. That’s because acai oil is a powerhouse of antioxidants.

Studies show that acai oil may be a safe alternative to other tropical oils used in beauty products such as facial and body creams, anti-aging skin therapies, shampoos and conditioners, and other products. When acai oil is processed and stored long-term, the antioxidant levels remain high.

Do acai berries and acai juice have any side effects?
If you have pollen allergies or have a known hypersensitivity to acai or similar berries, you may want to avoid this fruit. When eaten in moderate amounts, though, acai is likely safe

Acai Berry Documentary: ABC ‘Exposes’ Nothing New

Acai berry products once again hit the headlines when ABC’s Nightline broadcast a program about the hype surrounding the acai berry’s health benefits. They talked to people involved in the production of acai products, as well as those caught up in the vast market of acai berry supplements, including Dr. Mehmet Oz who appeared on Oprah. Nightline obviously intended to cut through the claims and counterclaims, but it is debatable as to whether or not it actually succeeded.

Acai Synonymous With Scams

It is unfortunate that acai has become synonymous with scamming websites ripping off customers who fall prey to their claims that the humble acai berry is capable of curing all kinds of ailments, even cancer! But like all things that sound too good to be true, these fake websites are only interested in taking your cash. Fake websites and scammers have long tainted the reputation of the acai berry. When Dr. Mehmet Oz appeared on the now infamous episode of Oprah, his use of the word “superfood” to describe acai launched a thousand acai spam sites pretending to have Dr. Mehmet’s and Oprah’s backing, many of which Oz and Oprah have subsequently sued.

But while ABC’s Nightline has certainly done a great job of making sure consumers understand that many of these outrageous claims by disreputable scammers are obviously untrue, it has failed to put the point across that acai berry supplements marketed and sold by reputable companies are actually a very useful diet supplement.

Acai: Staple Food

The amazing acai berry might not be able to cure cancer and diabetes, but it certainly has many important properties that have made it a staple part of the diet of people living in South America for centuries. Nobody disputes the fact that these unassuming-looking berries contain powerful antioxidants that help to cleanse the system, as well as being rich in amino acids, essential vitamins and minerals, omega fats and plant sterols. All these valuable properties mean that the humble acai berry is packed full of nutrition and goodness, and is an excellent addition to a healthy and balanced diet, whether taken in capsule form, or in other multiple forms.

Indeed, in its quest for the truth, ABC’s Nightline even flew to the Amazon to meet the very people whose livelihood depends on the acai berry. The production team interviewed people who harvest the berry, as well as those who consume the end product. Every one of those people interviewed agreed that the bland little acai berry is packed full of goodness. From poor farmers to local athletes, it is fact that the acai berry has changed peoples’ lives for the better. It has provided a much needed boost to the economy in these poor South American countries, as well as a boost to the diet of the same people whose life revolves around the production of the fruit.

Acai Berry Extreme: Extreme SCAM!

Acai Berry Extreme is nothing less than Extreme Crap. This is a cheap, heat dried extract that really doesn’t do acai any favors at all. It’s something of an insult to other acai manufacturers that try to produce a good product that will do our bodies some good. The makers of Acai Berry Extreme have, it seems, gone out of their way to make the cheapest possible acai extract, then to fill it with garbage ingredients to bring the cost down further.

As if this wasn’t enough, one of the sites that I’ve seen selling this rubbish is www.healthylifestylereview.com. This is one of a load of fake news sites: sites that pretend to be an authority on the subject but, in fact, are there just to promote a crappy product. They will try to make you sign up for a subscription to the product. This subscription is very expensive and is virtually impossible to cancel. The worst thing is that it’s so well hidden in the small print that the vast majority of people have no idea what they’re getting themselves into. They think they’re paying for a free trial of the product, and that that will be that. Oh no.

If you look at the graphic below you will see a list of other sites that are following exactly the same pattern. They pick a product (Acai Berry Extreme, for example) then pick a fake news type name (www.healthylifestylereview.com), then they find a picture of a pretty news reader (in this case Samantha Whyte) and make up some false claims about the product. It’s a simple formula. Samantha Whyte has never existed, but of course that doesn’t matter to these scammers.

Check our Acai Free Trial Scams page for more information on acai berry free trial scams.

Acai Berry Breeze: No Good!

Let’s be clear from the start: Acai Berry Breeze is nothing less than a blatant rip off.

The product itself is a very low quality imitation of ‘real’ acai which is designed and made in the cheapest possible way. Of course none of cheap manufacture is passed onto the customer in any way: you still pay top dollar for an inferior product.

Once you get past the poor quality, you may be surprised at some of the marketing tactics used by Acai Berry Breeze. They are using the now common fake news scam to trick you into thinking Acai Berry Breeze is endorsed by some kind of legitimate news website. One of the sites we have seen doing exactly this is www.consumertipsweekly.net. This site poses as a legitimate consumer tips site, but has in fact been created solely for the purpose of pushing Acai Berry Breeze to the unsuspecting public. The www.consumertipsweekly.net site is just like a whole load of other sites that do exactly the same thing: make up a legitimate sounding name, make up a news reporter (in this case she is called Samantha) to front the site and make the endorsement. Then just pick a product and try to sell it. If you look at the graphic below you will notice that there are many sites following the same pattern. While they may not have the enduring Samantha as their anchor, you can be sure that their tactics are the same.

As if all this wasn’t enough, www.consumertipsweekly.net and Acai Berry Breeze then do their best to make you sign up for a “free trial”. This free trial has been written about enough already so I won’t go on about it again here. Suffice to say it’s a nasty way to grab a lot of your cash without you really knowing about it. STAY WELL CLEAR OF FREE TRIALS!

You can learn more about acai berry free trials on our acai berry scams page.

Ultimate Acai: Ultimate Scam

Ultimate Acai is another of those acai products that is produced with no thought at about the customer. The powdered acai used is heat-dried, which means it has lost most of its goodness. Any goodness that remains is then diluted by the additional of worthless, cheap, ‘filler’ material. All of this means a very cheap product to produce. Unfortunately this isn’t passed onto the customer: quite the opposite.

What makes Ultimate Acai even worse is that it is marketed in an underhand and entirely misleading way. There are loads of “fake news” sites around (see the graphic below for lots more example) which pretend to be an authoritative voice on acai. In fact these are sites that are made purely for the purpose of peddling garbage products like Ultimate Acai.

One of the fake news site that sells Ultimate Acai is called www.weeklyhealthusa.org. This, and the alleged news reader Karen Simpson who fronts the site, and nothing less than a blatant confidence scam. These scams are easy to setup: once Ultimate Acai is shut down the site will change its name, the reporter will change her name, and the product will change its label. Simple and quick.

On the site the main feature offer is the “free trial” of acai. This free trial is no such thing, and is actually just a front to get you to sign up to a subscription-based service that you didn’t know about. Once entrapped, you will be paying up to $100 a month to receive the Ultimate Acai crap. The solution is simple: stay well clear of Acai Ultimate, www.weeklyhealthusa.com and Karen Simpson.

To learn more about acai scams you might want to visit our acai free trial scams page. You will see there that this is a common scam which many people fall foul of.

Acai Berry Blast: Scam Warning

Acai Berry Blast is a brand to stay away from. Stay well away from it and any site trying to tempt you into signing up for a ‘free trial’ of the product. These free trials are just a nasty way to get your credit card details from you: once the company has the details it will sign you up for a subscription ’service’. For this subscription you will receive a bottle of Acai Berry Blast every month (or every two weeks perhaps) and you will pay up to $90 for the privilege. These are horrible people and they are little more than common thieves.

Acai Berry Blast is also guilty of another scammy tactic: the fake news site. This scam – which is relatively new, but no less popular with scammers for it – relies on tricking the customer into thinking they are viewing a legitimate news site. This news site (in this case www.news24-online.com) just happens to be promoting the acai product. The news reader on the site (in this case Julia Miller) is supposedly telling you just how well it worked for her. This accompanied by lots of fake before and after photos.When this brand gets taken down (as it hopefully will) the website will simply change name from www.news24-online.com to something else, and the news reader will swap from Julia Miller to something else. It’s so routine it’s almost funny.

Acai Berry Blast is a crappy product that utilities horrible marketing tactics. Steer clear.

Acai Berry Blast is not the only brand that uses fake news sites or free trial scams. Check the graphic below for more examples of fake news sites, and check out our acai berry scams page for more on acai berry scams.

Acai Elite is a Scam

Acai Elite is a sub-standard product that is being sold on many websites. One in particular that is pushing this crappy product is www.news5reports.com. In fact, www.news5reports.com is nothing more than a FAKE news site set up just to SCAM users into signing up for a nasty “free trial” scam.

The product itself is no better than dried up fruit husk: they use a drum drying method to store the acai and make it last longer. Freeze drying acai is bar far the better option, but this costs a little more, and requires more investment in equipment. Of course the people behind Acai Elite are not interested in producing a high quality product, only in extracting as much money from their customers as possible using any means necessary. Another example of this can be found in the fact that they fill the product with lots of bulking material to make it even cheaper for them. Sad really.

A result of this lack of attention to detail is that they have to resort to nasty methods to sell Acai Elite. The fake news site ploy is an attempt to lure the customer into thinking that this is some legitimate, authoritative site that is recommending the product. The fake news site comes complete with a newsreader (in this case called Julia) who tries to convince you that Acai Elite is the best thing on the market.

Of course www.news5reports.com and Julia have been made up for the sole purpose of promoting Acai Elite, and is most definitely not something to be trusted with your money.

A popular scam that runs alongside the fake news site is the free trial. Here you are encouraged to sign up for a free trial of Acai Elite, for which you only have to pay shipping and handling. The catch is that (hidden deep in the very small small print, of course) at the same time as paying for the S&H, you are also signing up for a subscription to receive Acai Elite on a monthly basis. All this at the extortionate price of up to $100 per month.

The free trial scam is a common one, and lots of people are being stung by it. Check our page on acai free trial scams for more information.

Certified Acai: Certified Scam!

The acai product that calls itself Certified Acai is a sham, a scam, a complete and utter lie. Everything about it is fake, false and misleading. It is yet another lower quality drum-dried product designed to be cheap to make and expensive to sell. Drum drying acai burns out the goodness and nutrition. In addition, the makers of Certified Acai have seen fit to fill it with cheap ‘filler’ products. This is not a good buy.

One of the sites I have seen selling this scam product is www.news7special.tv. This is one of those fake news sites that tries to pretend to be a legitimate news channel. Let there be no doubt: this is not legitimate, and the site’s only reason for being is to flog this garbage. The fake news site ‘phenomenon’ is a dangerous and misleading trend in which sites (see the graphic below for a list of other sites following this tactic) pretend to be a news site. They post a picture of a news reader on the front page (in this case a young lady called Julia Sandler) , and then try to convince you to sign up for a “free trial” on the product. The sites use the same tactic but change the names of the site and of the friendly news reader each time. Other sites may not be called www.news7special.tv and may not feature Julia Sander, but you can be sure that they follow exactly the same nefarious pattern.

The final insult in this case is the Free Trial that I mentioned they advertised. For only the cost of shipping and handling, you too can try Acai Certified. DON’T FALL FOR IT! The free trial angle is just a ruse for you to send them your credit card details. Once they have these they will charge you for a ’subscription’ for the acai product, which will cost you up to $100 a month and will be difficult or impossible to cancel. Sound like a good deal now? Of course not.

Don’t get caught out! You can read more horror stories relating to this nasty scam on our acai free trial scams page.

Acai Burn Scam

Be wary of any site that is promoting the Acai Burn product. Acai Burn is nothing more than a poorly made, drum-dried acai product that is stuffed with inferior ‘filler’ ingredients. The mission statement from of the makers of this product must be something like: “make as cheaply as possible, sell for as much as possible”. Stay away.

Acai Burn also has the dubious distinction of being one of a large number of products being sold be “Fake News Sites”. This relatively new – but very popular – scam relies on making a site that looks just like a real news site. One of the sites selling Acai Burn in this way is www.usahealthreport.org. This site, and the news reporter on it (in this case she is called Gina Miller) varies very little from scam to scam. All the perpetrators do is change the name of the site and the supposed name of the reporter, and they’re good to go for another scam product. See some of the many scam sites in the graphic below. They ALL use the very same tactics as www.usahealthreport.org. Whilst the reporter is not called Gina Miller, you will notice some startling similarities between her and the other photos of women used.

So why go to all this trouble to pretend to be something you’re not if it’s a legitimate product? Well exactly. This isn’t a good product and it’s sold by deception as a result.

Another underhand tactic that these sites use is to trick potential customers into signing up for a Free Trial offer. This “free trial” is in fact far from free. The subscription can cost as much as $100 per month and it is, in most cases, almost impossible to cancel. Not a good deal at all.

So, stay away from these idiots and stick to professional acai sellers who deliver a good product and have no hidden agendas. In particular stay away from www.usahealthreport.org and Gina Miller.

You can read more about the free trial scam on our acai scams page.

Absolute Acai Berry: Beware!

We’ve heard reports of yet another acai product – this time Absolute Acai Berry – being sold using the combination of fake news scam and free trial scam. Sick of hearing the word ’scam’? Yes, so are we. When you look at the quality of this acai product there’s no wonder why the makers are having to push it using, shall we say, unorthodox methods. This is low quality drum-dried acai; much cheaper to produce than proper freeze-dried acai, and lacking in almost all the benefits too.

The fake news scam is a relatively new phenomenon, but not new enough that loads of other sites haven’t jumped on the band wagon and joined in. In this case the “news site” is www.news6reports.co.uk, and the ‘news reporter’ is Jane Clark. Both only exist to peddle this crappy product. The news sites are quite happy to change their name and the fake ‘reporter’ that they present. Just look at all the sites in the graphic below this post: all using the same scam.

The free trial scam is as old as the hills, but it still seems to catch lots of people out. Check our Acai free trial scams page for more information. You will see there that more than just a few people have been caught out. The scam basically involved signing innocent people up for a subscription to sub-standard acai products. The customer often doesn’t know that he or she has signed up for it at all. It’s an evil scheme, and one which the law ought to be able to take care of.

Keep your eyes open for www.news6reports.co.uk, and “Jane Clark”. Steer clear and save your money! Check our Acai free trial scams page for more information.

Acai Optimum is a Scam

Acai Optimum is “reviewed” on www.OnlineHealthNews7.com, which is made to look like a real news site. It certainly looks the part. They’ve even got a real news reporter (Stacy Sandler) there offering her opinion on acai optimum. The truth is that there is nothing real about this site, or the fake review. There are a whole heap of fake news sites published simply to try and scam you into signing up for a pricey subscription to a substandard acai product like acai optimum. Take a look at the graphic below to see just some of the other sites that are using the same tactics. They may not be called www.OnlineHealthNews7.com, and they may not have Stacy Sandler as their anchor, but this is the same scam alright.

These fake news sites are created quickly by people wanting to push the acai product. If you look closely at the site you will notice that there is nothing on there apart from misleading ‘reviews’ of these products. This is NOT a news site.

To add insult to injury the acai optimum product itself is very poor quality. Notice that it is a drum dried acai. This makes it FAR inferior to the freeze dried products. Of course drum drying is much cheaper and easier than freeze drying, and this is why the manufacturers of inferior products favor it. For similar reasons they will frequently add cheaper ‘filler’ ingredients into the product to save the money on sourcing more acai. It’s an all to common approach to manufacturing that doesn’t do the customer any favors at all.

For more information on free trial scams, and on fake news scams, see our acai berry free trial scams page.

Acai Berry Select: Scam Warning!

Acai Berry Select is a recent entrant onto the acai berry market place, and it has immediately set out its stall as being a low quality product pushed by scammers. Acai berry select is one of the many sub-standard products that are using the acai berry fake news scam to trick customers into buying them. Like all of these products this is a heat dried extract acai, and is NOT freeze dried the way it should be. The acai is also mixed with a bunch of other ingredients too; this adds nothing for the unfortunate customer, but takes away much of the cost for the producer.

So far, the site we have seen that is advertising this poor quality excuse for acai is www.HealthyLIfestyleReview.com. This is a fake news site that we have seen so many of. Take the list of sites below on the graphic: all use the same format and simply change the name of the fake site and the fake news reader/reporter. In this case the news reader is someone called Samantha Whyte. Naturally www.HealthyLIfestyleReview.com and Samantha Whyte are there only for the purposes of pushing Acai berry select, and exist only in the heads of the people who make these sites.

To make matters worse acai berry select is offered as a ‘free trial’. You can read more about this scam on our acai free trial scam page. Basically when signing up for the free trial, the unsuspecting customer is tricked into signing up for a subscription that they didn’t want. The subscription is expensive and impossible to cancel. Be VERY wary of any free trial offers.
