I'm planning to go to the store today to buy an acai berry of some sort, whether in juice, pills, or the berries itself. I'm wondering which brand or form would be the best, because obviously some of them are just going to have a bunch of fillers and barely much of the main, wanted ingredient. What do you think the best form is? And in that form, what's the best brand?

You'll be wasting your money because you obviously don't have a natural affinity for acai and therefore, must be buying it for it's alleged ability to help with fat loss. Of cousre, it has no such ability. I guess you didn't get the memo.
The acai berry has no special properties and has nothing to do with fat loss. The myth began when a doctor, Dr. Mehmet Oz, from Columbia Uni mentioned the berry on the Oprah show and supplements makers, being the scammers they are, began promoting products using acai as having beneficial properties they don't have often invoking the names of Oprah an Dr. Oz. Oprah and Oz filed suit against many supplements makets and the acai myth was born. Go here to read about it --> http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=8369105 Consumers, being credulous and ignorant of how supplements scammers bilk the public, began repeating and propagating the myth to the point of it becoming a global meme.
Forget the acai berry..uness you're familiar with it and happen to like it. It does nothing special. End of story.
There is a lesson to be learned from the acai berry phenomena and that is that most supplement makers are frauds, fakes, and only interested in taking your money. In particular the areas of diet and fitness are plagued with such charlatans and beset with countless myths and you'll see them every day in this forum. From protein shakes and muscle building supplements to silly Shake Weight and Ab Circle equipment to fad diets and green tea and Shape-Up toning shoes and on and on the BS runs rampant in Diet & Fitness. So, always be skeptical of and apply critical thinking to all advertising, reviews, articles, blogs, testimonials, and anything else which can be subverted by scammers. If a scammer can use it, they are.
Good luck and good health!!
