		<description>If you look at it from Monavie or Dr. Schauss&#039; point of view, why not do the study?  Fruit flies are very cheap, so the study doesn&#039;t cost much.  Such studies have the potential to keep acai and MonaVie in the news.  

More importantly it serves as a point of marketing for MonaVie &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.juicescam.com/monaive-aibmr-only-research/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;as referenced here&lt;/a&gt;.  Educated people would realize that the study is totally irrelevant, but others who may not be as educated (and thus likely to fall for MonaVie&#039;s scam) might attribute some value to the study.

You can go down the line with all of the studies from Schauss.  My favorite one was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.juicescam.com/alex-schauss-placebo-controled-study-monavie/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this extremely poorly conducted study&lt;/a&gt;.  It sounds impressive until you read it and realize all the problems with it.  MonaVie and its distributors are counting on people not reading the study and just saying, &quot;Oh it was done by a doctor and it was in published on a journal covered in Pubmed which is on the National Institutes of Health&#039;s .gov website.&quot;  MonaVie focuses on giving only half truths.  When you look deeper the lengths they go through to scam people is incredible.</description>

		<description>I seriously don&#039;t get it.  I&#039;ve read that article on the acai pulp but still, why test it on fruit flies when it&#039;s already been consumed by human for thousands of years?  That makes the study totally irrevelant.  I think it&#039;s more important that we focus on general healthy eating instead of going after these expensive snake oils. 

@Jeremiah, you were smart in not wasting your time in this juice melarkey.  I know from personal experience it&#039;s a waste of time and money,and it also alienates the distributer from family and true friends.  

Bottom line is, eat healthy, get plenty of exercise, and take in as much fresh air as possible.  Believe it or not, you&#039;ll be much more healthier and a lot less stressed-out than those busy distributers.</description>

		<description>First off let me just say that I think this is a very great and informative web site. While this may not be right on topic I figured it was worth bringing up. I don&#039;t have direct  experience with monavie per say I did however work at a restaraunt where a good portion of the employee&#039;s became crazy about selling this stuff. A friend of mine who ran the cafe (along side his girlfriend) became involved with a distributor and began selling the juice at the restaraunt. Soon my friend&#039;s girlfriend became absolutly obbsessed with selling and getting others to sell it. I however remained unconvinced that this was nothing more then one of those door to door pyramid like schemes that sold a lot of hot air.

    All I kept hearing was how much money you could make by selling monavie, I can&#039;t tell you how many times I heard about &quot;how you can make $2,000 a week&quot; from my buddy&#039;s girlfriend. She seemed to have a success story for every new day of the week, and she reveiled how the person who got her involved makes more money selling monavie then he does with his oil change bussiness. I was never convinced that the drink itself was a miracle cure but I found the way everyone acted in regards to this bottle of juice to be extremly cult like. 
   At one point I was able to read some material that they give &quot;new recruits&quot; and became so convinced that there was something simply wrong with how this company worked. It seemed that it cost money to do anything, to join it cost a monthly fee to stay active in the monavie team program. My friend was spending well over a $150 a month just to stay involved. What bothered me the most however was how the people started acting once they began to sell this stuff, I mentioned it before but it was very cult like. Eventually my friend realized that he was just bleeding money and he stopped, however his (ex) girlfriend  has taken it to the next level by using the cafe as a spring board for her career as a monavie millionare. I admit that I don&#039;t know much about the product itself, but from what I saw first hand about the way they do bussiness I never had any interest in this so called miracle cure all.</description>
