Acai Weight Loss Scams

Acai weight loss is a scam, plain and simple. Calling it such a nasty name is pretty harsh. Nevertheless, most of the information on the Internet is simply repeated, out of ignorance, from a few original sources. The original sources are the scams. Just for fun, take a look at some of the science, or lack of it, that applies to the marketing hype.

What I did was to go to one of my favorite medical databases and simply look up all of the references to published research on the scientific name, Euterpe oleracea, which is the name that scientists use for the species of palm tree that produces acai berries. (They are not really berries, by the way). I’m going to give you the Cliff Notes version of the results first, then I’ll append the complete list with summaries of results.

Does Research Support Acai Weight Loss?

In a word, no. The research has nothing to do with the marketing of any acai scam. Now go look up what you can find on acai for weight loss, then compare what you find with the list of research results I provide in my full article here:
