Acai Nutritional Information
The acai berry has been praised as one of the world’s “super fruits”. Grown in the Amazon region of South America, the berry is consumed in its raw form by the people there due to the inability to ship the fruit to other regions of the world. The raw fruit itself only stays fresh to eat for around 24 hours and after that is no longer considered good.
The berries themselves are a deep purple color and taste similar to a blueberry. They have become very popular in the United States due to their high amount of antioxidants, which surpasses that of the blueberry. Until recently, the blueberry was the biggest source of antioxidants in the world. Anti-oxidants are reported to help hold off the aging process.
Acai berries are also good for lowering cholesterol and assisting in the loss of weight. There have also been reports that acai berries can help destroy cancer cells; more studies are being done, but the results are promising.
Acai berries are consumed now worldwide mostly in the form of beverages, but are also available in concentrated pill form.
Garden Groom Electric Hedge Trimmer Review
Garden Groom Electric Hedge Trimmer Review
All I can say about this is “COOL”. I really did not expect this to fly. I figured it would have the glide ratio as a yard dart when it comes to performance, but I was totally shocked. This little machine does a great job on hedges and other small plants and bushes.
You have to remember that this is for trimming and grooming, not pruning. it lacks the ability to work on large ,or should i say “larger” stems and branches.

The Garden Electric Hedge Trimmer Groom vacuums the clippings as you go, so there are no more clippings to pick up after trimming. It reduces trimming chores time by up to 40%. The shredded clippings automatically collect in the on-board container. The Garden Groom Cutter includes a volume collection bag for big jobs. The shredded clippings are ideal for gardens and composting. The Garden Groom Electric Hedge Trimmer is constructed from high impact plastic materials resulting in its weighing only 6 pounds.

Review Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System
This is the best coffee system that I have ever run across. I have never been a big coffee fan because it was just too much of a pain in the you know what to make it and keep it for a few hours. It either get’s cold, stale or so strong that it is just not that good anymore.
It was also hard to make enough for one or two people in the morning on the way to work, but the Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System
Mine came with a great organizer that holds a boat load of k-cups. If you like coffee, and want quality coffee without the waste and without a waste of your precious time, then this is the coffee maker for you bar none. I would fight a grizzly bear with a switch over mine!
Gum With No Aspartame
Today I’ve finally discovered a natural chewing gum which does not contain aspartame.
If you’re like me, then you are rather annoyed at the selection of gum at any supermarket checkout. Virtually every pack of gum is using the artificial sweetener aspartame.
Reasons aside for the inclusion of aspartame in almost every mainstream gum product and the toxic effects of aspartame on the human body (both issues deserving discussion at great length), I would like to simply point out an alternative for you.
The product is called Glee Gum.
The ingredients list is as follows: Cane sugar, glucose, gum base (contains natural chicle), rice syrup, natural spearmint flavor, gum arabic, resinous glaze, beeswax, carnauba wax and chlorophyll.
Glee Gum can be ordered online, but you may be delighted to know that it can also be found at many natural food stores and even some large chains across the United States & Canada. Using the Gleegum.com Store Locator it’s easy to find a store carrying this natural gum near you.
Chewing gum is an effective way to eliminate bad breath, particularly after a meal or while you’re on the run to that big date.
Even though I have a stark objection to the inclusion of aspartame in gum (or any other product for that matter…) I will admit that during a night out with a beautiful lady my desire for a jolt of refreshing breath often outweighs my knowledge of the dangers of aspartame, and I’ll end up tossing a stick in.
Now, with my newfound discovery of Glee Gum, I can chew as much gum as I want – without receiving any headaches or blurred vision I get from chewing aspartame. And without the guilt of knowingly consuming a toxic substance.
