Is Oprah Really Endorsing Acai Weight Loss Products?

By Carter Sinclair

Acai berry is a Brazilian berry said to be endemic in the Amazonian basin and sprouts on top of some palm trees. This type of berry is considered a super food because it contains numerous nutrients that promote healthy metabolism as well slow down the process of aging.

This amazing fruit is packed full of free radical fighting antioxidants which helps the body fight off disease, improve metabolism, stabilize insulin levels, increase overall energy levels, and fights off the signs of aging.

A dermatologist who specializes in studying the effects food and other natural substances have on combating the signs of aging, recently put out a book called the Perricone Promise. In his book Dr, Nicholas Perricone noted how powerful the acai berry can be in the fight against old age.

Consequently, Oprah Winfrey featured Dr. Perricones book in one of her episodes on television and thoroughly presented the benefits that Acai berry brings to the body. NBC, CNN, Vogue magazine and London Times followed suit and made more mention about Acai berry.

Dr. Perricone's presentation on the Oprah show he revealed his list of the top ten super foods on earth. Some of them were everyday foods you probably already have in your house, while others were exotic fruits that you probably have never heard of. The #1 food on this list was the acai berry. Dr. Perricone noted that it was the high levels of antioxidants that allowed the fruit to be so powerful against aging.

After that appearance on the Oprah show, some shady marketers started using Oprah's name and likeness to promote their acai berry products. What they did was twist this simple appearance and make it look like she was actually promoting their product.

So, while Oprah made it a point to feature this amazing fruit on her show, in order to raise awareness, she has yet to come out and endorse any specific acai product.

As such, do not be misled by this faulty information. Acai berry really is an incredibly potent health product but you should beware of anyone promoting a product falsely trying to bank off of Oprah's credibility. Thus, the answer to this question is very complicated. Oprah Winfrey is not an official endorser of any acai product, but she has made a point to let the world know how special this fruit really is. - 17273
