Don't Get Hoodwinked By Hoodia!


Hoodia sounds great - a natural substance that blocks your appetite.
Sounds great, quick, go out and buy lots, right?

Er, no.

It's claimed that the plant Hoodia is eaten by African tribesmen to suppress their appetite if they're going for a long hunting trip.

Actually though, there is no scientific study that backs this claim up.
There are plenty of scientists who say that even if it does work, the only way to get enough into your system to have any effect is to eat the raw plant, so the dried powders and patches are, well, useless!

Anyway, let's be sensible about this, the healthy way to lose weight is not to take something that stops your appetite so that you just don't eat!
This is ludicrous thinking, never mind the dangers of having your thirst quashed too!

The dangers of dehydration should never be underestimated.

What happened to good old eating less calories and exercising more?
Why can't people just spend the money they'd waste on hoodia, and buy fruit instead, so that when they are hungry, they can just eat the fruit!

No need to put any 'apple patches' to your arm, or pop any pills, just go to the store and buy an apple.

Just make sure you don't get hoodwinked by hoodia!

Health & happiness,
Gordon
