There's been a lot of talk over the last few years about Hoodia Gordonii, the popular appetite suppressant and weight loss supplement that has been taking the world by storm.
The main topic regarding Hoodia lately seems to be whether the substance actually works or not.
Does it actually help you lose weight? Well, the resounding response from numerous health and medical professionals lately is, "well, we're not sure".
We're not sure?? You've got to be kidding me! According to several major pharmaceutical companies, such as Pfizer, Unilever and Phytopharm, that usually employ these kind of health and medical professionals, as well as invested hundreds of millions of dollars in research, land purchases and patent rights for Hoodia Gordonii, I find that hard to believe.
There must have been at least "something" about these foul tasting cactus-like plants growing in the deserts of South Africa that convinced these companies to invest all that money.
  There must have been "some" reason why the San Bushmen of the Kalahari have been using it for thousands of years as a means to stave off hunger and thirst during long hunting trips.
Now, it seems to me that the last grade school economics course I took pretty much taught me that major companies usually don't invest that kind of money in things that "they aren't sure of...
" There is only one real way to be sure, and that is to just try Hoodia Gordonii yourself.
It obviously works for millions of dieters, not to mention the San Bushmen, don't you think?
