    I was just looking through the products and saw there was a blog….not a lot of articles yet, but I saw this one – I just started incorporating acai berries into my diet. I put it in my yogurt for breakfast. I didn’t know about the ‘anti-inflammatory properties’. I’ll look at the book! Thank you for posting.

    Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Finding the time and actual effort to create a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a
    lot and never manage to get anything done.
