		<description><![CDATA[<p>According to the <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/features/consumer/sfl-flhlpberry0113sbjan13,0,2215877.story">Orlando Sentinel</a>, three Florida companies selling acai-berry supplements as weight loss, anit-aging and cancer curing products are being investigated by Florida&#8217;s Attorney General: South Florida Nutrition Inc. (SFL Nutrition),  GlobalNet Pharmacies and Aton Solutions. </p>
<p>According to the Attorney General&#8217;s office, after signing up for a 14-day free trial, consumers appear to be locked into recurring monthly orders (at $80 per month) that they cannot cancel, are unable to get refunds as promised or even reach a customer service representative.   </p>
<p>While in a 2006 test at the University of Florida showed the acai-berry killed &#8220;cultured leukemia cells&#8221;, researchers say there is no proof that the acai-berry supplement can cure cancer.  And Stephen Barrett, founder of Quackwatch.com, a consumer health advocacy site, said</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220; there&#8217;s little or no scientific evidence to support claims that supplements containing antioxidants prevent cancer and other illnesses or promote weight loss.&#8217;</p></blockquote>
