Weight Gains - Weight Loss

If people keep gaining weight at the current rate, fat will be the norm by 2015, with 75 percent of U.S. adults overweight and 41 percent obese, U.S. researchers predicted on Wednesday.
A team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore examined 20 studies published in journals and looked at national surveys of weight and behavior for their analysis, published in the journal Epidemiologic Reviews.
"Obesity is a public health crisis. If the rate of obesity and overweight continues at this pace, by 2015, 75 percent of adults and nearly 24 percent of U.S. children and adolescents will be overweight or obese," Dr. Youfa Wang, who led the study, said in a statement.

They defined adult overweight and obesity using a standard medical definition called body mass index. People with a BMI of 25 or above are considered overweight, while those with BMIs of 30 or above are obese and at serious risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.

Hoodia Gordonii has fallen from the news, but, still remains another important diet aid. Below are what some others are saying about this powerful diet aid:

Hoodia gordonii is probably one of the most famous South African Stapeliads due to it's use in the Diet Industry (ancient wisdom from the Koi San Bushman of the Kalahari Desert). There is a good chance that this plant is hybridised, as cross-pollination in Hoodia plants are quite common (especially in cultivation).

Note: This rare slow growing succulent is probably the most famous Southern African Stapeliad due to it's use by the Diet Industry. Hoodia is a natural hunger suppressant and energy booster (ancient wisdom from the Khoisan Bushman of the Kalahari Dessert).

November 21, 2004 will go down in history as the day that Hoodia Gordonii was discovered in America. It was on that date that CBS 60 Minutes aired a program about Hoodia Gordonii and for the first time many people were introduced to this incredible botanical. Now in 2005, word of this incredible product is spreading like wildfire and taking the consumer market by storm. Many are calling the discovery of Hoodia Gordonii the greatest breakthrough in weight loss management of the decade.

The CBS 60 Minutes segment followed reporter Lesley Stahl as she traveled to the Kalahari Deserts of South Africa to investigate the wild stories circulating about a Succulent "Cactus" eaten by native Bushmen for hundreds of years. It had been reported that the eating of Hoodia Gordonii could stave off hunger and this discovery was attracting the interest and deep pockets of major pharmaceutical companies and being touted the Greatest Appetite Suppressant of All Time.

Hoodia Gordonii researcher Dr. Richard Dixey explains how Hoodia Gordonii actually works:

"There is a part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. When you eat, blood sugar goes up because of the food, these cells start firing and now you are full."

"What the Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells fire as if you were full. But you have not eaten. Nor do you want to."

Interviewing a number of people and finally sampling a "finger" from the Hoodia Gordonii on camera, this was the first time in the history of television that a major news report gave a green light, a thumbs up, to a new plant that has the potential to help many overweight people fight the battle of the bulge.

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.

©2006 www.dcsp.org
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. "

2006-02-08T13:19:00.000-08:00

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!

Be careful on the Internet!

Hoodia - The Science Behind it!

Based on the scientific evidence of the benefits of Hoodia gordonii we've seen so far, it appears to be the best weight loss aid on the market today. But the biggest impact felt from Hoodia gordonii comes from the testimony of the Bushmen themselves. To this end, as a natural appetite suppressant that stifles the appetite without chemicals, additives, or side effects, the certified 100% pure Hoodia gordonii diet pill is universally embraced and welcomed by all.

Hoodia Published Scientific StudiesTo their amazement, during routine testing, scientists at the South African Center for Scientific and Industrial Research discovered that Hoodia gordonii contains an organic molecule that kills the appetite and attacks obesity in a way never before seen with no side effects. This previously unknown Hoodia molecule was named P.57.
This discovery was followed by the first human clinical trial conducted by Phytopharm in which morbidly obese men and women from Leicester, England were placed in a setting as close to prison as it gets. All the volunteers could do was read, watch television -- and eat. Half the group were given Hoodia and half were given a placebo. At the end of 15 days, the group on Hoodia gordonii had reduced their food intake by 1000 calories a day. Given the average daily diet is around 2200 calories, this was a stunning success.Recently, in two double-blind studies (the only proof accepted by the established scientific community) lean and obese laboratory rats were given Hoodia gordonii which strongly suppressed their appetites and caused major weight loss in the obese rats and moderate appetite suppression and weight loss in the lean rats. Hoodia also induced a modest drop in the rats blood sugar levels, and no adverse side effects were reported.

How Hoodia Diet Capsules Work ?

We could tell you how great this product is, but, naturally, we are selling it and so, instead of OUR opinions, we have noted below, various quotes about Hoodia Gordonii from major national and international news services:

African Plant May Help Fight Fat - CBS 60 Minutes story
*Quote from the 60 Minutes story: "Hoodia, a plant that tricks the brain by making the stomach feel full, has been in the diet of South Africa's Bushmen for thousands of years."

*Quote from About.com story: "Hoodia may work right away, or may take several weeks. Key results of hoodia reported include a reduced interest in food, delay in the time after eating before hunger sets in again, feeling full more quickly, and a general feeling of well-being."

*Quote from BBC News story: "What the Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells fire as if you were full. But you have not eaten. Nor do you want to."

*Quote from 2nd. BBC News story: "South Africa's indigenous San peoples have signed a deal ensuring they will profit from a diet drug being developed from a plant they have used for generations."

*Quote from 3nd. BBC News story: "In P57's case, the Hoodia Gordonii cactus has been used for centuries by the Xhomani Sans bushmen of southern Africa's Kalahari desert, to suppress the appetite during long hunting trips.

It works by making patients feel full after ingesting it, and the company says it has been shown to lower food intake by 30-40% in a small study just completed."
