But your entire post was opinion and you didn’t present any facts. I think most of what you wrote was BS, but of you’d like to take a second try and present some EVIDENCE to back up your opinions, I’ll look it over.

First, Bela Iaca produces what is often considered the best acai in Brazil and therefore the world. Earthfruits is just a middleman company for MonaVie that purchases from them and Bony, but I understand they are going to go exclusive with Bela Iaca starting this year. Bela Iaca was formerly Acai do Sao Pedro, probably why there was some video at one point of the facility with workers using the Sao Pedro shirts/logos. Acai do Sao Pedro sells to all the major producers in Brazil. Nobody else even comes close.

Second, Monavie is a waste of money, but not because they use bad acai, 12% solids is considered a higher grade in Brazil. It just doesn’t cost that much or deserve such a markup. It should sell for $10-$15 at most.

Third, the difference between organic and non-organic acai is nothing. Location of trees is most important. The state of Para typically produces better quality and higher in nutrition than other Amazon states like Amapa where Sambazon gets there acai. In fact, there acai is degraded due to the poor location of their facility in Brazil…another story. I should mention that the farm acai of some companies like Bony is not good for the Amazon b/c they cut down forest to grow acai…most of the acai companies don’t do this, though.

Fourth, the difference between 12% and 14% solids in acai is very difficult to notice. It is unimportant if you are blending the acai. It only matters if you eat/drink acai fresh the day it is made like they do in Belem.

Fifth, everyone in the US adds unhealthy ingredients to their acai juice. I hate Monavie’s taste, price and selling style, but it is not an unhealthy poor grade juice except for the sodium benzoate. Try Amazon Thunder if you want some pure acai…you probably won’t like the dull taste. Or try the Costco 90% acai, this is good stuff and very comparable to real acai in the amazon that has been sweetened…but their price is a few $ too high also.

Sixth, Liotecnica is a very reputable company with high quality. Their freeze-dried acai is the best, hands-down, for now. I’ve tested the others and visited all the companies. I have no idea how MonaVie uses it, probably sparingly knowing how expensive it is and how cheap MV is.

Seventh, there is only one US company that owns their own acai facility, Sambazon. But, as I mentioned earlier, their acai is of poor quality due to the long trip from harvest to their facility. Just look at the color of their acai for proof…it is weak, almost brown, not dark purple. I do like Sambazon as a company, but even they lie a lot…all companies do. There is no helping of indigenous people b/c there aren’t any in the acai harvesting regions…they were murdered by europeans hundreds of years ago.

Finally, if you don’t like acai, no problem, if you want real, true acai, 12% is good enough for any of you, and you should be looking to buy some frozen pulp. I mentioned two other companies above, but I cannot vouch for the fact they are in liquid form and acai oxidizes rapidly…so they might be losing nutrients unless you get a batch date that is less than a few months old. Frozen acai pulp/puree is the way to go for getting acai the Brazilian way. It is nutritious but not a miracle. Remember, Amazonians ween babies off mother’s milk to acai. It makes up 40-60% of per day calories and these people live strong and long. There are few cows in the flooded areas of the amazon so they eat acai instead which is good and healthier. We weren’t meant as humans to eat milk from animals..we aren’t baby cows. Sorry for the digression. My point is avoid acai juice…it just isn’t worth much most of the time, including Sambazon and Zola, but if you do get acai juice watch out for all the cheap filler juices like apple and white grape…if they are present and there is little to no fiber then there is little to no acai. And, avoid clarified acai juice, it is at least 30-40% less nutritious..some Texas A&M related study that I don’t have a link for.

If you refute any of this then I will know you are lying because I have actually lived in Brazil and visited almost every single acai company in business. Sorry for the opinions that crept in, I tried to keep it to the facts, but there were some companies being dragged through the mud that don’t deserve it…not MV, of course…drag on.

You apparently missed my comment last night about bringing relevant research about MonaVie to the table. Your comments about Pfizer, while perhaps worth investigating, are outside of the scope of this site and definitely not on the topic of MonaVie/Earthfruit’s Mid-Grade Acai.

As such, the comments have been removed.

im not good at spelling, and my typinbg messes up all the time. so i am sorry for that part, but anyone who has quit monavie after going the whole 9 yards with monaVIE can open their eyes after they are done and realize how they were brainwashed. and also someone who comes hear or anysite that speaks the truth for that matter can understand that monavvie is a bad choice to do and that all mlm companies are bad for selling, and in my opinion even avon is bad to sell because u make such low money it all goes back into product that u want to use, but atlease people want avon.

monavie pushes there skunk juice on others by making false claims and telling there distributors to buy a case for everyone in your family because its healthy and theres something for everyone, well a family can be a mother daddy sister sister and new baby brother. lets c ut the baby out and just make 4. thats 4 cases a month, thats on average 6 hundred a month with out going to meetings and buying tools, and gas and travel. and so on. its all told to you through meetings seminars and cd. they say that if you have questions and want an swer to buy the 400 dollar give or take in price, top 50 cd pack and u r sure to get answer.

rediculas.

i am an ex distributer and chose money and happyness and family over the company and u say i am a failure. and that all thoes that failed are scared of success. how do u come up with this stuff oh wait u r being brainwashed every second because u are preparing for media wars at the next cult seminar by reading the most pages and the most cds to win a cheap lil belt and trophy with in one month till the next seminar. wow u really are being brainwashed. my own mother doesnt watch as much tv anymore because she is brainwashed byt his pethedic company. she doesnt watch news or listen to radio or even her fav sitcoms anymore. the odd slip up does happen buyt on cds it says to change your habits and make lil changes like stop watching tv and all together, will be hard at first btu it will be like second nature, and no radio or news paper, instead read books from monavie and our recamendations and go online to our website and watch videos and read somemore.

if thats not brainwashing then i dont know what it. u see when your in this company you r being brainwashed, and you cant not open your eyes to truth and whats real, you do not accept others words because only what you were told is what you believe. and you cant accept truth so uy decide to try and make shit up to make your company proud of you when they arnt even looking at u. do u think they care for u, u r so far at the bottom u arnt a blimp on the radar.

and yet you have yet to state anything about your self. rank and name and pay. yet you judge anything anyone says from their past on their expirence and call them failures and your self a seccuess. does that mean you are a black diamond with a business black diamopnd marcadies car. i highly doubt it because you wouldnt have the time to be writting on hear.

when you get higher up in the company you dont have time to do anything your always doing meetings and more training and even when you think you get vacations with monavie you are training so its not like u r really free in this company, and they wont let u go weith out a fight if you ever get to the top. i could go on but ill wait and see what all gets said. but please state facts and proof before u gio on the way you do.

i am just an ex monavie guy who loved his family more and i did see what it was like inside and did not want to be there. but you will someday realize u rnt ever going to get paid at the rank u have acheived and will say we were all right.

now u stop being a monaBOT in a monaCULT.
we will have to call a priest on you to do an exerist on your ASS to remove the deamonds who are not allowing you to see the truth and only what you r told, hence brainwashing.

u act tough with words but no one knows who u are and u dont know us, so before you piss the wrong person off think about what you sai u bot in a cult,.

If you, don’t bring some research to the table in your next post, I’m going to have to stop accepting your comments. At this point you are not making any new points or giving any reasons in your comments. You aren’t proving any point on this website to be mistaken. So start proving posts mistaken and cite sources.

There are not just “some bad seeds” Bobj… there are bad seeds at all levels of the organization. That includes Black Diamonds and even MonaVie corporate as well as MonaVie scientific advisors.

BobJ, I already have success, which is why I can spend time on this site helping others. It is you who is afraid to understand the very product that you sell.

Remember that the Worst Juice in America was wording from Men’s Health, not me. Next time learn to read.

I love how you can come up with a number such as 77% negative energy… there is no such thing as negative energy, much less a way to quantify it. If there were such a thing as negative energy those who charge $40 for proven nutrition-deficient juice would be at the top of the list. What is your encore, selling beat up 1995 Honda Civics for $85,000?

BobJ, you know you are in a cult when you talk about others having “negative energy.” That’s how they keep you brainwashed.

Yes, relationships suffer because of financial situations, and that’s why it doesn’t make sense to sell $40 juice to people. For a family of 4 that’s a burden of $5000 that they don’t need.

If these distributors are doing nothing to grow their business, MonaVie should cancel their distributorship. A distributor who doesn’t distribute is not a distributor anyway.

Robert Kiyosaki – see: http://www.juicescam.com/robert-kiyosaki-rich-dad-poor-dad-mlms-and-monavie/. It is not my opinion… I cite specific examples from Kiyosaki’s book. Again, Kiyosaki is not a credible source anyway… so you prove nothing.

It’s amazing that MonaVie distributors just trot out names like Kiyosaki without knowing the history of him.

get that in your hear and open your eyes and hears and mind to the truth. or else you will be a broke homeless drunkin bum in the alleys of nyc. by monaBOT who lives in a monaCULT.

So it’s a cult and I am brainwashed that is original.

You guys are scared of success that is the bottomline.

You are jealous of people who make it. You are not able to come out of your comfort zone and try new things. You are scared money.

This site is propaganda. It is wrong and obnoxious.

What proof has this site provided? Other than point some bad seeds out in Monavie out of the Million distributors that have signed up. LOL of course your gonna have some bad ones.

This site has proven absolutely nothing. You guys lack faith and lack social skills. AFRAID OF SUCCESS IT SCARES YOU SO YOU TRY TO GO AGAINST IT TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER.

But since a a mysterious Food Technologist comes on here and says it has less nutrition than a apple you guys believe it lacks nutrition. Since Vogel points out there are some bad seeds in Monavie and in a Word of Mouth Business some people tell some of the facts wrong it’s a bad business. Since Scam puts his little posts up like Monavie Worst Juice in the America it preys on your fears and negative emotions and you guys eat it up.

In a typical day your gonna get 77% negative energy and this site just brings more of that. Stay positive keep positive things in your mind believe have faith don’t stop succeed. Don’t be afraid of success. Have some faith in your fellow man and trust that they aren’t all money hungry greedy selfish con artists.

There are great people in Monavie. You guys seem to think that everyone in the Business is a con artist. It’s terrible. There are some really solid people here and since they are positive and keep each other motivated through meetings and other events you call it a cult. It’s not a cult. We have all different backgrounds here. People are suffering not seeing their kids as much as they want because they are tied up at work. Relationships suffer because of financial situations. However if you want to win and have the desire to win you can. Monavie is a vehicle to get you there. You choose your path. You can take it as far as you want.

The average person won’t that is why the failure rate is so high. Aussie’s 99% percent number is so off it’s not funny. Again it’s more like 90% and probably 70-80% of those people DO NOTHING TO GROW THEIR BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!

Monavie is a powerful vehicle with a very unique and nutritious product. Network Marketing has a black cloud over it so when people sign up they look for the negative and they can find it here. One day Network Marketing will not have a black cloud and will be well respected by many. Robert Kiyosaki calls it the Business of the 21st century and it should be. Oh wait scam post your little opinion on why Kiyosaki doesn’t agree with Monavie and try to pass it off as fact that is what your good at.

Don’t look for the negative don’t look for the obstacles. Look for the opportunities and look for the positives. That is all.

If you are just getting into Monavie don’t let the propaganda of this site disturb you be strong and don’t let anything or anyone stop you from what you want to accomplish.

That shouldn’t surprise anyone as that is what world-renowned nutritionist Dr. Andrew Weil says about MonaVie.

And, please LISTEN CAREFULLY…I drank the juice for the alleged nutritional value. I NEVER said that I got involved because I wanted to become a millionaire. I have NOT ONCE said that I got into this for the business aspect of it. I have a very different value system then you. I don’t care about making millions, especially in this deceitful way. I care about being healthy, at peace with myself, treating people with dignity and respect and above all, living my life honestly. That is my definition of success. That is where you and I part company.

And again, I did not start out a disbeliever. I can assure you that the people I got involved were only involved because I believed wholeheartedly in what I was selling them. And, you wanna hear something crazy? I told them about it because I actually thought it would IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH, not because I wanted their money. It didn’t improve their health. Wait a minute. Yes it did, they didn’t have as much back pain from carrying around all that money.

As I have said, when my geophysicist friend broke down the studies done, she is the one that enlightened me about the fact that this juice is nutritionally inferior. She had NO REASON to lie to me. She had no agenda. She just worried about me throwing my money away when she knew I was drinking this crap “for my health” and had stopped taking my daily vitamins etc. The company changed their mantra midstream and started calling it a “supplement” but that is not the word they spread initially. This was a nutritional REPLACEMENT. I am not an idiot. I know what I was told and I was told this by people at the Diamond level.

Please. I have EVIDENCE (and not just from these web sites) that this is NOT a quality product (so very far from it) and to say that it is a quality company makes me slightly nauseous. You say that these sites lead you “astray”. Do you know how cult like that sounds? Do you hear yourself? If you really believe that this product and the company is that great, discuss it with a nutritionist and consult an independant business lawyer. Don’t listen to us.

Lastly, I can assure you that I will NEVER go back to the Church of Monavie and my ONLY interest is to bring this “company” down. Period.
