MonaVie Acai Juice: Cure-All or Marketing Scheme? | Newsweek Project Green |

August 6, 2008

I would say Hype in a Bottle!! For sure!! That company sure has a

lot of people duped. Just like all the other expensive fruit juice

drinks out there. Why can't people understand that it is just a bunch

of fruit juice - at what, $40 a bottle? Preposterous!! Grape and

pear juices are in there, 2nd and 3rd ingredient - cheap juices. And

what's with the " Natural Flavor " - exactly what is that? If they have

to add flavor it's probably far from natural. Plus - sodium benzoate

and potassium sorbate??? Benzoates contribute to ADHD - don't drink

this overpriced fruit juice!! Is it pasteurized?

Eat fruit - EAT it, don't pay some company to juice it and preserve it

for you.

But is it just hype in a bottle?

I agree and usually do not see the point of juicing good fruit. However, there are certain fruits that must be eaten immediately and if we want their antioxidants they must be properly handled without killing their enzymes. (In Mon A Vie, the acai is freeze dried and much value is lost) Non-multilevel marketing companies have learned how to do this and they supply exotic juices at a lower cost.

Things like Mon A Vie are promoted by hyped up salespeople who are high on adrenaline from the prospect of big paychecks. This adrenaline makes them naturally feel better until payback time arrives.--- On Wed, 8/6/08, bluegreensolutions <bluegreensolutions wrote:

Hi...

I'm not in the monavie company but I do have a good friend who is an Occupational Therapist and claims drinking it did save her dad's life... and she is not a millionaire as her focus is a good product....these exotic fruits do provide nutrients that we do not get on a daily basis with the western diet....it is best to eat these fruits raw of course, acai, mangosteen, goji/wolfberry/ but how can we do that....I prefer capsules....a good idea to check out where one can get all of these combined in one capsule......

We do know if you check out the people of Hunza and those living in the Himalayas/Nepal area live very, very long lives because they do not have our diet nor drink our water which proves humans can live a lot longer depending on their diets.....

We can find out what others have done to increase longer life and the following websites have wonderful information.....
