Te verde y Acai berries para adelgazar
Esta es la mejor explicacion:
This whole acai berry thing is a scam.
Acai berries are high in antioxidants.
A diet high in antioxidant foods can help increase your metabolism.
An increase in metabolism can burn more calories.
More calories burned can result in weight loss.
Acai berries cause weight loss!
That is the "stretch" these con artists are selling.
Acai berries don’t have any more antioxidants in them than blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. At 10 times the price because they are "exotic".
The cleanse pills that usually come with them contain nothing more than psyllium husk powder to help you poop more. There is no such thing as a fat burner. Burning more calories than you consume is the only fat burner. None of these weight loss supplements guarantee anything unless you establish a healthy diet and exercise program. So why not just establish a healthy diet and exercise program and keep your money?
The same stretch of the imagination marketing applies to green tea capsules, maquiberry, hoodia, moyoberry, gojiberry, fruta planta, hoodia, and african mango seed extract pills.
The Federal Trade Commission is requesting federal courts to temporarily halt the allegedly deceptive tactics of 10 operations using fake news websites to market acai berry weight-loss products. The FTC seeks to permanently stop this misleading practice and has asked courts to freeze the operations’ assets pending trial.
“Almost everything about these sites is fake,” said David Vladeck, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “The weight loss results, the so-called investigations, the reporters, the consumer testimonials, and the attempt to portray an objective, journalistic endeavor.”
According to the FTC complaints, in pitching the acai weight-loss products, the defendants post attention-grabbing ads on search engines and high volume websites, such as “Acai Berry EXPOSED – Health Reporter Discovers the Shocking Truth,” driving traffic to the fake news sites and ultimately to the sites where merchants sell the products. The FTC has received numerous complaints from consumers who paid between $70 and $100 for weight-loss products after having been deceived by fake news sites.
Reporters or commentators pictured on the sites are fictional and have not conducted the tests or experienced the results described in the reports, the FTC alleges. The “responses” and “comments” following the reports are simply additional advertising content, not independent statements from ordinary consumers. The defendants receive commissions when consumers buy the products or sign up for “free trials” on the product-selling sites – but they fail to adequately disclose their lack of objectivity and their financial incentive to get consumers to buy the products. According to the FTC, the defendants collectively have paid more than $10 million to advertise their fake news sites, and have likely received well in excess of that amount in ill-gotten commissions.
Derived from acai palm trees that are native to Central and South America, acai berry supplements are often marketed to consumers who hope to lose weight. In 2010, the FTC filed an action against acai berry marketer Central Coast Nutraceuticals for deceptively marketing acai berry supplements as weight-loss products, and “colon cleansers” as an aid for preventing cancer.
The defendants running the fake news sites who were charged in these cases make very similar claims that consumers can experience dramatic weight loss by taking acai berry supplements in combination with a companion product such as a so-called colon cleanser.

Al té verde los científicos no cesan de encontrarle propiedades últimamente. Chi Pui Pang, de la Universidad de Hong Kong, ha demostrado que los antioxidantes que contiene (vitamina C, vitamina E, luteína y zeaxantina) pueden ser absorbidos por diferentes tejidos del ojo, incluida la retina, lo que previene el glaucoma y otras enfermedades oculares. También se ha comprobado científicamente que reduce las enfermedades de los dientes y las encías. Consumido con moderación (de 3 a 6 tazas al día) disminuye el riesgo de muerte por enfermedad cardiovascular, según un estudio publicado en la revista Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology: Journal of the American Heart Association. Y experimentos en ratones han revelado que ayuda a combatir la obesidad.
Es más, un estudio realizado en la Escuela Médica de Atenas (Grecia) indica que 30 minutos después de beber una taza de té las grandes arterias del organismo se dilatan, lo que evita problemas circulatorios, aterosclerosis, etc. Además, uno de sus componentes, la epigalocatequina (EGC), promueve el crecimiento de las células óseas (osteoblastos) hasta un 79%, lo que fortalece los huesos, aumenta su mineralización y ayuda a prevenir la osteoporosis, tal y como se podía leer en la publicación Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
A esto se suma que el consumo asiduo de té evita que la vesícula biliar se inflame. Sin olvidar que inhibe el crecimiento de las bacterias. Y en el cerebro, los polifenoles del té tienen un efecto protector sobre las células protectoras de dopamina, de manera que previene la enfermedad de Parkinson, según se desprende de un estudio dado a conocer en Biological Psychiatry. No en vano un antiguo proverbio chino reza: “Es mejor pasar tres días sin comida que uno sin té”. Eso sí, no conviene beber nunca este brebaje demasiado caliente -es decir, a más de 60 ºC-, porque se ha demostrado puede causar cáncer de garganta.
