If these berries are miracle fruit, why is the life expectancy in the Amazon so low?
This video is dated 2008.
Several people I know tried to sell this $40 a bottle stuff a few years ago.
They don't try it anymore.
Perhaps one reason is found in the comment below the video:

"They are NOT FREE! I got charged 100 dollars on my credit card and They DID NOT WORK!
I was already on a eat well and exercise program that helped me loose 40lbs. So I figured with Acai I would just loose the extra pounds that much faster.
But it did the exact opposite, during the 1 month I took Acai I ramped up my exercise and did everything possible to lose weight. But NOTHING in the month I took Acai my weight didn't go down a SINGLE POUND! I am actually gained 5 pounds in this last month."

Sam's Club sells similar products for much less.

I think the current fad has moved on to pomegranate.
It's funny how you can sell a bottle of juice for $40 IF the bottle looks like an expensive bottle of wine.

These days, pomegranates are far down the pecking order of fruits, though some think it was a pomegranate, not an apple, which Eve offered to Adam. Fewer than 4% of Americans had tried the fruit before 2002, when marketing mavens Lynda and Stewart Resnick launched the 100% fruit juice they call POM Wonderful. It's since become a top seller, in its curvy hourglass-shaped bottle.

Poisonous snakes?
Mary Anne

Not poison. Just big.
Real big.
Maybe the snakes eat Acai berries!



Do you know what the Amazon natives call the Anaconda snake?
Dinner.
