60 Minutes Hoodia Diet Pill Report

Tips Uncovered With The 60 Minutes Hoodia Diet Pill Investigation

In North America alone, in excess of $40 billion is spent on weight loss products each year. Unfortunately the fact remains that most of this money is completely wasted.

The most recent entry into the fast weight loss market is something called Hoodia Gordonii.

By now most people have at least heard the name but very few know anything about it.

In short, hoodia gordonii is a natural product that basically shuts down your hunger.

Hoodia is nothing like most weight loss supplements that have shown up on the market over the past couple of decades.

Most notably, unlike other now banned weight loss products like Ephedra and Phenfen, hoodia does not contain any stimulants or other ingredients that have dangerous side effects.

The scientists that have studied hoodia gordonii explain that it fools your brain into thinking and feeling that you are completely full, even if you have only eaten a very small meal. This is according to the correspondent from 60 minutes who first broke the story with the 60 minutes hoodia diet pill investigation.

Here are some more facts that the 60 minutes hoodia diet pill investigation uncovered:

• Hoodia is a cactus that has been in the diet of South Africa's "San" Bushmen for centuries.
• The only place in the world where you can find the hoodia cactus that is used in this way is in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa.

For the 60 minutes hoodia gordonii investigation, a linguist and interpreter, hired an experienced and local tracker to find the hoodia cactus.

The tracker led the 60 minutes hoodia diet pill investigation crew out into the desert. The reporter asked him if he ate the hoodia cactus. "I really like to eat them when the new rains have come, it's really quite delicious" says the tracker, speaking through the interpreter.

When the cactus was found, the guide cut off a part that looked like a small spiky pickle. The 60 minutes hoodia diet pill investigation correspondent ate it. It was like a cucumber in texture, but not bad; she said.

How well did the hoodia cactus work during this part of the 60 minutes hoodia diet pill investigation? According to the correspondent, she said that no after effects were noticed. There wasn't a funny taste, she didn't experience any stomach problems, and unlike a stimulant weight loss product, her heart rate did not increase.

But the biggest and most impressive result was that she wasn't hungry at all during the rest of the day. And, she didn't have any desire to eat the entire day either. Stahl said: "I'd have to say it did work."

More facts about the 60 minutes hoodia gordonii investigation:

• Hoodia gordonii is new to the so-called "Western World". However the "Sans" Bushmen have been eating it regularly for centuries.

• Because it was well known in South Africa that the "Sans" Bushmen ate hoodia, it was included in a food study at a national laboratory in South Africa.

• It was first fed to animals in the above mentioned study. After the animals ate it, they lost weight.

• Even though hoodia has been around and used for centuries in South Africa, it's true weight loss and appetite suppressant potential wasn't noticed, even after the first scientific studies were conducted. The original research was conducted over 40 years ago but it wasn't until the 60 minutes hoodia diet pill investigation that we started to hear about it.

• The reason for the long delay was that it took over 3 decades just to isolate and identify the active ingredients that makes hoodia gordonii so effective.

  After that, it was licensed to a company called "Phytopharm".

• This company spent over $20 million on research, clinical trials with obese patients, etc. These trials produced some very impressive results that prompted the 60 minutes hoodia gordonii investigation.

"In Addition To The 60 Minutes Hoodia Pill Investigation, The BBC Also Investigated It"

The BBC took the same in-depth look at hoodia gordonii as the 60 minutes hoodia pill investigation did.

1. An organic pill that can completely suppress your appetite and fight the obesity epidemic.
2. There are no known hoodia gordonii side effects.
3. The hoodia cactus can only grow in extremely hot temperatures and it takes years to reach maturity.
4. The active ingredient in hoodia gordonii is known as 'P57'.

Like the crew of the 60 minutes hoodia pill investigation – the BBC also went far into the desert to get the facts on this potentially amazing weight loss product.

Just as the 60 minutes hoodia gordonii reporters had found, the BBC crew found kind of an ugly looking plant that had about ten branches coming out of it, each of which was covered by barbs. You have to carefully take these barbs off to get to the "good part".

Both the BBC reporter and his cameraman ate about half a banana size of the hoodia cactus. According to both of them they did not feel like eating anything for the rest of the day.
