You may or may not have heard of “Hoodia” … the all natural plant extract … for weight loss.
Hoodia is getting more and more popular all the time for weight loss due to the multiple dangers of the diet pills out there. I am sure that the article written in Oprah’s O Magazine about hoodia for weight loss has also sparked many peoples interest in this all natural way to lose weight.
What is Hoodia?
Hoodia gordonii… pronouned "Whoo De AH"… is a cactus-like plant. that grows throughout Southern Africa… mainly in the Kalahari desert. The local people there have used Hoodia for thousands of years to stop hunger and thirst when traveling on long journeys… as it acts as an appetite suppressant.
Is Hoodia safe?
It always amazes me when people ask if something natural is safe. Is an orange safe? How about an apple? Yes, in it’s natural form, just like fruits and vegetables (without the pesticides)… it is safe.
However, be aware that there are some companies that will “manipulate” the hoodia and add what are known to be dangerous fillers, etc. (for longer shelf life, etc). At that point, my opinion would be no, it probably is not safe. So be careful about which hoodia you buy. I recommend HoodiThin because everything in it is all natural (no fillers)… it is the only hoodia on the market that is 100% Pure South African Liquid Extract… and because the liquid form is the best, most effective hoodia ... as I will talk about more below.
Hoodia in the Media…
Hoodia has been in the media many of times. There have been segments and articles on NBC, CBS 60 Minutes, BBC as well as Oprah’s O Magazine which I mentioned above. Here are some of the comments form the stories / articles.
Leslie Stahl of CBS 60 Minutes did a segment on Hoodia…
Here is one of the paragraphs from her report… “It's (hoodia) very different from diet stimulants like Ephedra and Phenfen that are now banned because of dangerous side effects. Hoodia doesn't stimulate at all. Scientists say it fools the brain by making you think you’re full, even if you've eaten just a morsel."
Here is what happened to Leslie Stahl after eating a piece of the South African gordonii hoodia plant (which, by the way, she described as a little cucumber-like but it didn't taste bad.) Stahl said she had no after effects - no funny taste in her mouth, no queasy stomach, and no racing heart She also wasn't hungry all day, even when she would normally have a pang around mealtime. And, she also had no desire to eat or drink the entire day. "I'd have to say it did work," said Stahl. Click here to see the full story… Click here to read the full story...
ABC News reported on Hoodia as well. The report said pharamaceutical companies are hoping to create a “hoodia miracle pill” that will help the million of Americans who are overweight to slim down. Click here to read the full story...
BBC News commented on hoodia… “Imagine this: an organic pill that kills the appetite and attacks obesity. It has no known side effects and contains a molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full.”
NBC News correspondent Janet Shamlian wrote an article about hoodia . The article explains that Nutrition stores are packed with hoodia products, however, most of the hoodia that is out there isn't the fresh hoodia plant. Rather, it's the dried, powdered and — some say — less effective version... Which brings me to my next point… Click here to read the full story...
The Benefits of liquid Hoodia vs. the hoodia pills…
There are many hoodia formulas on the market, however, let me explain something… Liquid formula hoodia is the best because it absorbs the hoodia into the cells immediately… bypassing digestion. Typically, with pills (hoodia or any form), most of the benefit is lost during the digestion process, so you would only be getting a small percentage of the hoodia into your system… typically only 2 to 20%. With liquid hoodia, you can be sure to get almost full absorption of the hoodia (95 to 98%)… so it is much more effective than diet pills.
