Acai Berry Weight Loss Scam Attracts Mainstream Attention. Finally!
Acai, if you haven’t heard, is another one of those trendy, exotic “super fruits” that are all the rage these days. And while acai is a great source of anthocyanins (antioxidants) and does have a high ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) “score”— it’s being marketed by some unscrupulous folks as being a cure all for just about everything. The greatest offenders are on the Internet, who hawk...
Reflections From Montreal…
Last weekend my girlfriend and I were in Montreal for the annual SiteSell company dinner. Of course, we took this as an opportunity to spend an extra couple of days in one of my favorite cities, doing a little sight-seeing, and taking a nice break from the daily grind. Of course, what I do here is never far from my mind – even if I am taking a break – so it’s not surprising that a visit to our hotel’s...
OK, Now This Is Just Scary…
I stumbled across this article the other day. It indicates that 9 of 10 adults could be overweight or obese by 2030.

Obese Kids Boasting The Arteries Of 40-Somethings?
Wow. Talk about timing. The virtual ink was barely dry on my blog post, FTC Report: Marketing To Children, when I saw this disturbing report featured on CTV Newsnet, one of Canada’s main cable news television stations. Apparently, researchers took 70 obese children (average age 13) and measured their carotid (neck) arteries.
