In the never ending fight to win the war against being overweight, the challenger may have finally landed a knockout punch. Ongoing studies are demonstrating that people struggling with their weight may be unknowingly suffering from a condition that's been sabotaging their efforts to lose it: leptin resistance.

A study from researchers at Harvard University, in the journal Developmental Cell, found that, "Nearly all forms of obesity are leptin resistant..."

Leptin, a hormone, regulates weight by decreasing hunger and food consumption, while at the same time improving metabolism and energy utilzation by burning fat. Leptin is the master hormone that can virtually determine whether or not a person is overweight. Harnessing it's power has been the ongoing quest.

With 10 times the antioxidants of grapes and twice the antioxidants of blueberries, the Brazilian Acai berry (AH-sci-EE) is considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth.

The health benefits are simply amazing. With the symmetry of a grape and the size of a giant blueberry, the Acai fruit tastes a bit like wild raspberry with a hint of grape. Most people have trouble putting their finger on the taste because it's so different.

The much anticipated Acai Berry-based super food drink called MonaVie from Monarch Health Sciences will be available in 4 countries starting January 3rd, 2005. Monarch is an established global health and wellness company that shares its financial success and opportunity with its distributor base of independent work from home resellers.

Substitute Circuit Court Judge Westbrook J. Parker, in the removal petition cases filed against four members of the Gloucester County Board of Supervisor members, ruled yesterday that the 40 petitioners must pay sanctions of $2000 each, a result that vindicates the Supervisors, said James E. Cornwell, Jr., a local government lawyer with the firm of Sands Anderson Marks & Miller who was retained by two of the defendants.

The Court ordered Gloucester County to pay the Supervisors' legal fees in the defense of the removal petitions and allows the funds recovered under the sanctions to be used to reimburse the County, representing a substantial portion of the legal fees for the defense. Cornwell represented Supervisors against whom criminal and removal petitions had been filed.
