Açaí berries are actually kind of a joke. Yes, they are high in antioxidants, but this is in their whole form, not in pasteurized processed juices--pasteurization destroys antioxidants. Also, the shipment of the berries to the US adds alot of CO2 to the atmosphere. BTW it's açaí (uh-sigh-ee).
Olive oil was also in the news this year because neither the USDA nor the FDA has a legal definition for what is "olive oil." Importers are throwing everything from peanut oil to animal feed-grade soybean oil in their bottles and calling it olive oil. Currently, as long as there is a measureable amount (a couple of drops count) of olive oil in the bottle, it can be called olive oil.
USDA is seeking to close the loophole, but I think they're still in comment period.
Thanks, I've been pronouncing Acai wrong, apparently. I wonder if I can grow Acai berries, hmmmmm. Guess I'll be looking into THAT! Happy New Year, everybody!
I love acai berry but you can't really get the nutrition from it because sodium benzene plus citric acid (both acai perservatives) equal benzene which is a carcinogen/oxidizer therefore, it cancels out your purpose of drinking it. However, I love omega 3s

Let's face: acai and olive oil are helthy foods... but loaded with calories...
So let's watch out for those..

Great video! How did you post this up in HD by the way? I love the 'touched up' photo you added to distort our image of perfection by the way. ;)
