Hoodia on 60 Minutes

The benefits of Hoodia were reported on the CBS television program 60 Minutes. The following is a summary of what they had to say. It is always good to get other people's opinions or read reviews before you decide to buy Hoodia online. If you would like to read the full article, it can be found here.

None of them seem to be working very well. Now along comes hoodia. It's very different from diet stimulants like Ephedra and Phenfen that are now banned because of dangerous side effects. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports. "I really like to eat them when the new rains have come," says Kruiper, speaking through the interpreter. She described the taste as "a little cucumbery in texture, but not bad." So how did it work? Stahl says she had no after effects – no funny taste in her mouth, no queasy stomach, and no racing heart.

It took the South African national laboratory 30 years to isolate and identify the specific appetite-suppressing ingredient in hoodia. Subjects given hoodia ended up eating about 1,000 calories a day less than those in the control group. And we've seen that very, very dramatically," says Dixey. The Bushmen first heard the news about the patent when Phytopharm put out a press release. Roger Chennells, a lawyer in South Africa who represents the Bushmen, who are also called “the San,” was appalled. "So what did you do?" "I wouldn't want to go into some of the details as to what kind of letters were written or what kind of threats were made," says Chennells.

Dixey says it can be made synthetically: "We've made milligrams of it. So we couldn’t make a metric ton of it or something that is the sort of quantity you’d need to actually start doing something about obesity in thousands of people." Phytopharm decided to market hoodia in its natural form, in diet shakes and bars. That meant it needed the hoodia plant itself. But given the obesity epidemic in the United States, it became obvious that what was needed was a lot of hoodia - much more than was growing in the wild in the Kalahari. Agronomist Simon MacWilliam has a tall order: grow a billion portions a year of hoodia, within just a couple of years. MacWilliam says these products are a slightly different species from the hoodia Stahl tasted in the Kalahari Desert.
