FTC Continue: Lawsuit Against Acai Berry Seller
Amazingly, a tiny purple fruit discovered in the Amazon, has gained fame the world over from its nutritious benefits to its contribution to longevity, renewed energy,increased sex drive, and metabolism booster. Because it boosts metabolism, acai berries are also considered a weight loss miracle. Most who wish to lose weight will complain they are hungry all the time, and most will fail their diet plans. Not in the case of acai berry capsules. This convenient form of taking the berry retains all of its benefits and purity.
This sweet tasting fruit has been noted to reduce appetite, therefore reducing the urge most dieters feel to check out the pantry late at night. Whether it is for weight loss, sex drive, or a healthy immune system, acai berries are a sure buy in these economical times.
Judge issues injunction against Acai Berry seller to halt all operations
More than a year after the US attorney general issued a $1.37 million dollar fine against Central Coast Nutraceuticals (CCN) for deceptive business practices that didn’t have much effect, it looks like CCN will finally be shut down. The FTC followed up and convinced a US district judge to issue the injunction against CCN, which effectively halts ALL their operations
After listening to consumers complaints for 2 years now, the FTC has taken action again. They convinced a US federal district judge to issue an injunction against one of the biggest companies behind the Acai Berry Free Trial scams, Central Coast Nutraceuticals (CCN), effectively halting all their internet operations and freezing their bank accounts.
Its about time! Yes, the FTC is a government bureaucracy, so moves very slowly. They’ve been inundated with complaints from tens of thousands of irate consumers now, with estimates of over a MILLION victims of these scams. To be fair, they did make a case A YEAR ago against a Texas man who was a force behind these schemes in the early days. He quit the business and was fined a few thousand dollars – about what you pay for a big traffic ticket!
Here’s the strange part of the big fuss they are making about this single case - The US attorney general made a big fuss in June 2009 about a record fine against an acai berry distributor. Guess who it was? CCN! With hundreds of websites and dozens of companies pushing these scams all over the internet, the FTC makes a big deal about a court decision to stop the SAME COMPANY that the US attorney general supposedly shut down OVER A YEAR AGO! Please forgive my cynical nature, but it sounds like the different government agencies are fighting for credit over the same case. Either that, or the $1.37 million fine last year didn’t convince CCN to stop. In which case, why didn’t the US Attorney general do more LAST YEAR?
Ok, enough with being cynical. It sounds like CCN is finally being shut down. Lets hope the FTC keeps the pressure up and pursues more cases to shut down the rest of the scumbags.

Should you buy Acai berry products that have been freeze-dried or spray dried?
Spray drying is the most common method to preserve the extracts from fruits but this is not the most effective especially if you’re dealing with rare fruits such as the Acai berry. Spray drying method is similar to cooking which is good enough if you just want to get the extract and flavor without much concern about the nutrients.
Freeze drying works very differently. Instead of cooking the fruit it actually need to expose the fruit to very low temperature to get rid of the moisture without affecting the nutrients and enzymes. That means that when you buy Acai products that have been freeze-dried you are getting more nutrients and experience more health benefits from it. This method is a bit pricey but for such a precious fruit there is no other method that it deserves. It’s known as the number 1 superfood of the world because of its nutrients but if you strip off the nutrients from the fruit then it’s just like buying a product with the extract of an ordinary fruit.
The Acai berry diet supplement
Losing weight doesn’t need to be difficult. It shouldn’t be unhealthy either. There are a lot of weight-loss products that claim that you could lose weight but if you read closely then you will know that they have strong chemicals that can cause side-effects. Other weight-loss products are even more harmful and they are not even FDA approved. These diet pills can dehydrate you fast and if you don’t know what signs to watch out for then you may probably end up in an emergency room.
Lose weight the right way with Acai berry diet supplement because it is all natural and pure extract from the Acai fruit which is known as the best source of nutrients such as antioxidants, natural dietary fibre, omega fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals as well as electrolytes. This will help you lose weight and will also improve your health. No other weight-loss products out there can do the same for you.
