Buyer Beware: Not All Hoodia Products Contain Enough Active Ingredients: " Buyer Beware: Not All Hoodia Products Contain Enough Active Ingredients
Dishonest marketers, scams abound in Hoodia market. Customers should ask questions and read the label.
Memphis, TN (PRWEB) June 17, 2006 -- Ever since CBS’ 60 Minutes reported on the miraculous appetite-supressing qualities of a South African bushflower called Hoodia Gordonii, thousands of marketers have come up with their own Hoodia offerings. All of these products claim to use the power of the Hoodia plant to help customers lose their appetites, and along with that, their excess weight.
But according to The University of Hawaii, there aren’t enough Hoodia plants in the world to produce all the pills out there claiming to use Hoodia! What does this mean to consumers? Many of these products are using a tiny percentage of Hoodia—or worse, no Hoodia at all—and marketing their product as having Hoodia as an active ingredient."

Bushmen Cry Foul Over Hoodia Trade - OhmyNews International: "Bushmen Cry Foul Over Hoodia Trade
South African tribesmen accuse Germany of illegally selling products from the desert plant
Southern Africa's earliest inhabitants -- the San Bushmen -- are urging the governments of Switzerland, Germany, and South Africa to act against the illegal sale of products from the desert plant Hoodia gordonii.

While the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) stipulates that indigenous groups be given a share of the profits from the commercial use of local genetic resources and traditional knowledge, the San are yet to benefit from the many Hoodia products that are being sold in Germany and Switzerland.
The San people, romanticized as hunters-gatherers, are found in Namibia, South Africa, Angola, and Botswana. The San call the cactus !khoba and have been chewing on it for thousands of years to stave off hunger and thirst during long hunting trips in their parched Kalahari Desert home.
The plant was, however, patented in 1996 by South Africa's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and licensed for further development to a British company, which in turn sold additional licenses to drug company Pfizer, and later to Unilever. "

REPRESENT.CO.ZA: "From CBS news:
Each year, people spend more than $40 billion on products designed to help them slim down. None of them seem to be working very well.
Now along comes hoodia. Never heard of it? Soon it'll be tripping off your tongue, because hoodia is a natural substance that literally takes your appetite away.
It's 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. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoodia is a bitter-tasting cactus-like plant. 60 Minutes was told that if it wanted to try hoodia, it would have to go to Africa. Why? Because the only place in the world where hoodia grows wild is in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. "

SABCnews.com - south_africa/general "San call on govt to stop illegal sale of hoodia
March 09, 2006, 15:00
The San community has called on the governments of South Africa, Switzerland and Germany to stop the illegal and unscrupulous sale of products made from the hoodia plant.
The indigenous plant has traditionally been used by the San as an appetite suppressant and is currently being developed by Unilever, a consumer goods company, into an anti-obesity drug. The San have signed two profit-sharing agreements for hoodia, but neither has yielded any revenue for the community. "

I did a little research on the Internet to see what types of Hoodia was available.
One must be careful because most of the companies that said that they had Hoodia in their diet pills were tested and found to have no hoodia in them but were rather pumped with caffeine. Also, many add herbs to their Hoodia. Sure they say this adds some benefit, but, in reality it just cuts down the amount of real Hoodia!
