Well, you heard me. What do you think of them I said. This means, use your experience and what you’ve heard from others to navigate a proper response.

Snake oil.

Seriously some of the other claims about acai made include increasing penis size and increasing a mans sexual atractiveness to women.

Wow, lol. Haven’t heard that before. I would think something like the opposite, as it’s a weight loss suppliment. As in, since you lose weight you could therefore, possibly lose girth. Just a caculated guess, nothing more.

They work wonders for weight loss in my case. I’m also rather slim to begin with. I don’t gain very much weight but my weight rapidly flucuates if I let myself just stop doing any kind of routine workouts and such.

OK. So I admit it, I was bored, so I had a look on Medline to see what people who are not internet scam artists are saying about acai berry’s. Two papers inparticular caught my attention. So I thought I’d share.
