Attorney General of Connecticut investigating Acai Weight Loss Scams

I just read an email from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), and I thought you should know about this.

Seems there are now ads on Google, Facebook, or elsewhere on the Internet touting the miraculous weight-loss properties of a trendy berry called açai. These Ads claim that Oprah, Dr. Oz, or Rachael Ray have endorsed the products.

…Don’t fall for them.

There’s no reason to believe the antioxidants in acai or any other food promote weight loss.  And those celebrities do not endorse any of these açai pills or purees.   Any before-and-after photos you see crediting açai with weight loss are likely to be Photoshopped fakes.  Worst of all, consumers who sign up for supposedly free trials have a hard time stopping the companies that sell these pills from repeatedly charging their credit cards.

In the current issue of Nutrition Action Healthletter, CSPI blows the whistle on the scam.  And yesterday Richard Blumenthal, the Attorney General of Connecticut, announced his office has opened an investigation into these companies, many of whom have “F” ratings from the Better Business Bureau.  CSPI hopes other law enforcement authorities will investigate these companies’ practices as well.

Read the article and pass this email along to your friends, so they don’t give out their credit card numbers to these scam artists.  Read more about the scam in this CSPI news release or watch this clip from Good Morning America.
