Acai: Oprah and Dr. Oz File Suit


Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Oz are taking legal action against more than 50 businesses. The lawsuit includes allegations that companies used the famous duo to advertise and falsely endorse various cosmetics, diet products, and tooth whitening kits.

The papers state: "These defendants are willfully capitalizing on plaintiffs' valuable reputation and intellectual property rights to lure consumers into ordering their infringing products on the false premise that they have been tested or recommended by Ms. Winfrey and/or Dr. Oz when they have not."

The product that caught my attention from the beginning was acai. This has been the new weight loss craze on the Internet. Since I am always looking for new easy ways to lose weight, besides my backbreaking workouts, and eating birdseed, I naturally looked into the acai theory. Look no further people! It is not proven the acai helps you lose weight. It is another “too good to be true” myth! While acai is considered an anti-oxidant, comparable to cranberries, it is not a weight loss tool. Sorry. Argghhhh!!! Back to the basics of working out, good nutrition, and burning more calories then we consume.

  1. This is just not true. I have been eating acai every day for the past 2 months, and have lost almost 5 lbs! The trick is you have to eat acai, and only acai. You cannot eat anything else. Also, my oxidants may have weighed almost half a pound, and by consuming acai's 'anti-oxidants', i was able to lose that.
