Strange Fruit: The Rise and Fall of Açaí

Ryan and Jeremy Black, two brothers from California, made açaí the new "superfruit", considering 10 years ago it was almost unknown to everyone outside of Brazil.  Açaí is suppose to have amazing health claims, but is that all a fraud? Oprah and Dr. Oz have taken their names off of the fruits marketing and you can no longer buy it online because of scams.
I don't think that this article gives enough details as to why it is falling. It tells you all about how it came to America and how Americans have embraced it, etc., but it says is falling and is a fraud, but gives very little details backing that theory up. I wish this writer had added greater details and information.
