9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A lot has been said over the past few years about "superfoods" -- certain foods that reportedly contribute greatly toward your overall health. Now, Dr. Perricone, an M.D. probably best known for his guest appearances on such television shows as 'Oprah,' the 'Today Show' and 'Larry King Live,' has weighed in with his top 10 choices. I found it interesting because even though there are some standards there, his list does include a few items that I haven't necessarily seen referred to as "superfoods" before. Though each food has different possible benefits, it is believed that consuming these may help to regulate metabolism and burn body fat, lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, protect against heart disease and act as an aid to your digestive health. As always though, check that with your own doctor first. Perricone actually calls Wild Alaskan Salmon the "King of Superfoods" (which I suppose makes this a top 11 list instead), followed by the following 10:
- Açai Berry -- A high energy berry from the Amazon
- The Allium Family -- Garlic, onions, shallots, leeks and chives
- Barley
- Green foods including blue green algae, barley grass and wheat grass
- Buckwheat seed -- More protein than rice or wheat
- Beans and lentils -- High in fiber
- Hot peppers -- Anti-inflammatory analgesic
- Nuts and seeds
- Sprouts
- Yogurt or kefir

Xocai cocoa on your lable you have something like 36000 ORAC that is per 1000 grams of Acai Mona Vie is 1027 per 1 gram.
Mangosteen is grown on plantations not wild.

The Acai berry is the premier fruit in the juice, along with 18 other powerful and antioxidant rich fruits. Our family and friends lives have been directly impacted by this incredible product!!

So I tried it. What was there to lose- it was given to me for free as long as I had an open mind and gave it a legitimate shot and drank the whole bottle (2 shots a day). I have ulcerative colitis (it's ugly and deadly so google it if you don't know what it is) and was told this MAY help me. I MUST take my meds every 8 hrs. or my intestinal health rapidly deteriorates. Without meds I'd be in a hospital in MAYBE a week or less and probably dead within 4 months if that. My doctor wants me off my medication because of fear of a liver problem side effect but have been unable to find anything to help me otherwise. Until Mona Vie Active. In "testing" Mona Vie Active for myself I stopped taking my medicine and started drinking the juice ONLY on July 2,'07 (NO MEDS)! I would know within 16 hrs. of not taking my meds if the Mona Vie Active was working or not. There would definitely be signs if it wasn't working! I HAVEN'T TAKEN A PILL SINCE!!!!! I'm not in the hospital either. I'd been taking these pills for 5 years!! The relief of not having to worry about whether or not I was destroying my liver with each pill I took with my medication is priceless!!! Mona Vie is the PREMIER ACAI product out there! I signed up and became a distributor so I could get it at a discounted price and share it (for free!) to my family and friends to POSSIBLY help them with any problems they may have. I don't even talk about the marketing ($$$) aspect of the product! I don't care!! If they want another bottle after their FREE trial then I sign them up to get it at wholesale pricing and tell them to return my bottle when they get their 1st order. This isn't BS either. TRY THE PRODUCT BEFORE YOU KNOCK IT!!! Is there a price for your body's liver? They don't grow on a tree, ya know? Acai does. Remember: Cheaper is not always better! Mona Vie is PATENTED for a reason!
