Has anyone tried it?
Its a herbal slimming pill, I saw it on
Super size vs Super skinny last night?
Much of hoodia's popularity stems from
claims that the San Bushmen of the
Kalahari desert relied on hoodia for
thousands of years to ward off hunger and
thirst during long hunting trips. They
were said to have cut off the stem and eat
the bitter-tasting plant.

Hmm ... afraid I am a little paranoid
about protecting my liver and some of
these things are just too radical for me.

I've never tried anything like that. I
wonder, if it isn't regulated, how would
anyone know that the ingredients are
actually Hoodia?

Ingi makes a really good point - in fact,
a few years ago there was a huge scandal
b/c a number of diet pills were claiming
to contain Hoodia (an appetite suppressant
that has a number of positive reviews -
who knows if it really works), and there
was actually *no* Hoodia in the pills.
Some diet pills now come with a
"certificate of authenticity" that says
they really came from South Africa (which
is where they grow naturally), but I don't
know if I could even trust this!
