P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Perfect Acai Review - Not All Acai Supplements Are Created Equal

By Travis Van Slooten

Acai supplements seem as though they would all be the same. All a company has to do is harvest the berry, turn it into a powder or drink and sell it to customers. But during that short process, there are quite a few steps which can result in vastly different products. Before you consider trying the remarkable acai berry for yourself, you need to know how to find the highest quality product available. Otherwise, you're just throwing your money away on cheap fillers and fluff ingredients.

The Basics

Before we go directly to the brand, let's first brush up on the basics of this once little-known berry. Acai is called by many as the number one super fruit because of its nutritional value and high antioxidant content. You would be amazed to find so many nutrients packed into one small berry the size of a grape. In terms of potential benefits, it ranks far above avocados and cranberries which were perceived before as the reigning super fruits. The only drawback you may find with acai is that its high fat content causes it to spoil quickly, making it impossible to be shipped to other countries. Luckily, manufacturers have found a way to process acai berry such that the nutrients contained can still be maintained even without having fresh acai.

Things to Look Out For

Obviously, you want to avoid scams and potential traps. But you also need to look at the product itself. Legitimate companies may still sell an acai supplement chock full of fillers and fluff ingredients which can not only reduce the quality of the product, but may leave you with a nearly worthless product. The main things to look for can be found on the ingredient label. Watch out for fillers such as sugar and caffeine. These not only cheapen the product, but they add fats and other products you don't want in your health supplement. The label on Perfect Acai tells the story. Only pure acai is used in building their supplements.

Another product to avoid is an extract. The acai berry is healthy in its entirety, so why would you want to take an extract of only part of the fruit? Perfect Acai offers the entire fruit of the acai berry and all of its benefits. Well, they don't process the entire berry, but that is a good thing. Some companies will include the seed in their acai supplement. While the seed is harmless, it composes a majority of the acai berry and has no nutritional value. This means you are getting half the benefit for the full price. Perfect Acai gives you only pure acai berry fruit, so you get the most bang for your buck.

Know The Product Before Buying

Acai distributors and users who are in the know are well aware that the only acceptable method of processing acai that retains the nutrients while at the same time making the products travel-worthy is freeze drying. Studies show that freeze dried acai supplements have 50 times more antioxidants than those which have undergone spray drying.

And what is spray drying? It is another process that may be used to preserve acai. Unlike freeze drying that uses low temperatures however, spray drying uses heat to remove the moisture from the fruit, thereby removing its nutrients in the process. The product is also sprayed with the polysaccharide maltodextrin which is taken in the body as glucose. What companies with substandard products typically do is to keep silent on their manufacturing method. To be sure that the acai brand you are getting is using the freeze drying technique, check to see it says so in the label. From harvesting to processing, Perfect Acai uses only the freshest berries and the methods to ensure the highest standard of their supplements. And all this information is contained in Perfect Acai's product package. No need to hide anything.

Perfect Acai doesn't stop at making their supplement top quality. The devil is in the details, after all. Most companies package their supplements in gelatin capsules which are often made from cowhide! Not only is this unacceptable to vegetarians, but many people can have allergies to these capsules. Perfect Acai uses capsules made from an easily-digestible vegetable cellulose.

When you are deciding which acai berry supplement company to go with, you need to take many things into consideration. You first have to know what to avoid so you don't get scammed. Then, you need to know the details so you can buy the acai supplement which is best for you. When all things are considered, Perfect Acai stands at the top by offering a superior product for a competitive price.
