Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 there was a discussion about that few months ago, here on the list. This is what I remember........ IT is the " new hip " from Africa. Hoodia is a plant that grows naturally in the Kalahari Dessert (if I am not mistaken) and the locals, when go hunting, sometimes for days - that helps them so suppress appetite. Obviously - it is used there in very small amounts. Pfizer and other companies showed interest BUT to my best knowledge - Pfizer took their hands off it. FDA never approved and if it is sold in stores -it is probably under the GRAS regulation or less then that .. There are no reliable data and no one knows of long-term effect or even if it really works for wt loss....... any body else has any recollection of that? Appetite suppresent? Does anyone know anything about Hoodia? A co-worker of mine asked me about it. Suppose to be the latest and greatest " natural " appetite suppresent.
