No Maqui Berry is now fashionable for 2009? What Next!

The latest in the line of the ‘super fruits’ that will zap pounds off your wallet but the claims are it will take pounds of your weight.

The spin doctors are even coming up with terms/jargon for its qualities such as the ORAC rating (for you and me this is the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). Maqui berry has about double (ORAC rating) that found in Acai berry. Now the websites that are selling this fruit at over inflated prices are saying that the antioxidants that it contains (still with ORAC) will help you lose a lot of weight with some websites saying there are cases were people have lost 20 lbs (pounds) in a month.

The Facts: Antioxidants do not help you lose weight in the way that the websites are claiming. What they do is help get rid of free-radicals from your body (which is a constant battle). Free radicals are thought to be responsible cause of some or all cancers.
